How To Make fried okra - dee dee's

• Step 1
  Slice okra and soak in buttermilk.
• Step 2
  Mix cornmeal, salt and pepper together in a bowl with plastic top or a large ziploc bag.
• Step 3
  Drain off as much of the buttermilk as you can. NOTE: it will still be thick.
• Step 4
  Heat 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.
• Step 5
  Add 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.
• Step 6
  Fry in hot oil until golden brown, being careful to not over crowd the skillet.
• Step 7
  Remove from skillet, drain excess oil on paper towels.
