Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup self-rising flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups water
1 (16-ounce) bag whole okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onions
1 tablespoon clarified butter, plus more as needed

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour and salt. Whisk in water to make a thin batter. Stir in okra and onions.

Over medium heat, add clarified butter to a cast iron skillet. Use a small ladle to pour batter onto skillet. Pan should be hot enough to make batter sizzle. Cook until underside is browned, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and brown on the other side. Repeat with additional batter, adding more butter as necessary.

Did not like at all
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I as a fellow southerner for 5 generations and a lover of okra was very disappointed in the dish. It was way too heavy a... lacked any real flavor.Read more

YUM
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this recipe !!! Super easy and delicious !!! My mother-in-law who loves okra and never knows what to do with it... couldn't stop eating them. The only changes I made were that I used a little more onions (sauted them a little first) and (it didn't specify in the directions, but I) boiled the frozen okra before adding it. As someone mentioned, you do need a lot of butter (as clarifying it dissolves a lot of the butter) but it was so good I wouldn't try anything else. Thanks Paula !Read more
