Kaye's Okra Fry Bread
(2)
Recipe by riffraff

From Paula Deen. This is really good. I made some changes that I noted on the recipe because I was using what I had on hand. My bread turned out GREAT with a really good crust. I served with a big pot of beans.

DIRECTIONS

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour and salt.
  • Whisk in water to make a thin batter.
  • Stir in okra and onions.
  • Over medium heat, add clarified butter to a cast iron skillet.
  • Use a small ladle to pour batter onto skillet.
  • Pan should be hot enough to make batter sizzle.
  • Cook until underside is browned, about 3 to 4.
  • minutes, then flip and brown on the other side.
