INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 4
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt plus more for seasoning after cooked
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 cups sliced okra
- 1/2 cup onion, diced into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
DIRECTIONS
Heat up the oil in a large skillet with a heavy bottom (cast iron is best) over medium heat.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Add in the okra and onion and toss until evenly coated.
Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a small bowl then add it to the okra mixture. Stir together until well combined.
Working in batches, scoop 2 tablespoons fritter batter into the oil. Gently smash the mounds with the back of your spatula
Fry until golden brown, turning once. The instructions said it would take about 4 minutes per side. That wasn't the case for me but maybe my oil was hotter than it should've been?
Drain on a paper towel and season with salt.
Serve warm and enjoy
