I was a bit timid about frying but these okras turned out hot and delicious! Added red pepper to cornmeal mixture. Served with squash casserole, onion and cuke salad and grilled chops for a perfect summer dinner.

Wonderful, restaurant quality! I did make a couple of slight changes; I added about 1/4 tsp. of red pepper to the buttermilk & okra mixture and instead of plain salt, I used Larry's Season Salt. Everybody enjoyed.

I love this recipe! I would make it over and over. Quick, simple, and delicious. You can serve with most anything, but I love it with fried fish, or most any fried meat.
