Ingredients

  • 1 cup okra, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Oil for frying

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, milk, egg, salt, and pepper to create a batter.
  2. Add the chopped okra to the batter and mix well to coat the okra pieces.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated okra into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
