Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sliced pickled okra
1/2 cup shredded smoked Cheddar
1/2 cup corn kernels
3 scallions, sliced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Honey mustard, for serving
Directions
- Pour enough oil in a large Dutch oven to fill about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, okra, Cheddar, corn, scallions and egg. Working in batches, carefully drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the oil. Fry, turning, until golden, about 5 minutes. Drain on the prepared plate. Season with salt. Serve with honey mustard.
