Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (250g) okra
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Trim off the cap and tip of the okra, then cut it into small pieces.
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper in a bowl, then stir to mix well.
- Add the buttermilk to a bowl. Working in batches, dip the okra into the buttermilk, then coat it with the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Heat a saucepan or frying pan with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil. Deep-fry the okra in batches until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with a dipping sauce, such as spicy Ranch (simply add Sriracha to the Ranch).
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, just use milk and add a squirt of lemon juice, vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
