The sweet fried okra recipe was made on accident. A few years ago we took all the ingredients to my mother-in-laws to make fried okra....cut okra, flour, and cornmeal...or what I THOUGHT was cornmeal. As soon as we started trying it, we realized it tasted "sweet".
You see, I am going blind in my left eye, and my vision in my other eye isn't so great either. I thought I grabbed the cornmeal but instead, I grabbed the POWDERED SUGAR!!! That's right! It tasted almost like funnel cake!
You HAVE to try the "Sweet Fried" recipe. I know the kids will love it!
Regular Fried Okra:
2" okra, cut into small bite sizes
Sliced green tomatoes
1 C flour
1 C cornmeal
1 C milk
Crisco or vegetable oil, for frying
1. Heat crisco or oil in iron skillet, or pan
2. Dip okra/green tomatoes in milk.
3. Dip in flour then cornmeal.
4. Repeat for thicker coating.
5. Put in hot oil. Fry until golden brown , flip, fry until golden brown.
6. Drain on paper towels
"Sweet Fried" Version:
1. Substitute cornmeal with powdered sugar!!!! YUM!!
Enjoy!
