Buttermilk seems to be the key to getting okra to turn out just the way we like them. I've tried egg whites before but I think the buttermilk does a better job in getting the crust just right for our taste. Yum!

How To Make fried okra - dee dee's
-
1Slice okra and soak in buttermilk.
-
2Mix cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a bowl with plastic top or a large ziploc bag.
-
3Drain off as much of the buttermilk as you can. NOTE: it will still be thick.
-
4Heat oil in iron skillet. I heat up to a medium high. NOTE: I use a 10-inch (seasoned) iron skillet, however, I would think you could use a deep fryer as well.
-
5Add okra, several at a time to cornmeal to coat. You can put cornmeal mixture in plastic bag or a covered bowl and shake the okra.
-
6Fry in hot oil until golden brown, being careful to not over crowd the skillet.
-
7Remove from skillet, drain excess oil on paper towels.
