Okra Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable oil 
• 0.5 cup flour all-purpose
• 1 serving coarse mustard 
• 2 cups okra frozen thawed sliced coarsely chopped
• 0.5 cup onion diced yellow
• 1 large eggs 
• 0.3 cup buttermilk 

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• paper towels
• whisk
• spatula
• butter knife

Directions

1. In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil over medium. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Add okra and onion and toss to coat. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and buttermilk.
3. Add to okra mixture and stir just until combined.
4. In two batches, drop batter in 2-tablespoonful mounds into oil. With a small spatula or butter knife, gently flatten each mound and fry until golden, about 4 minutes per side, flipping once (adjust heat if browning too quickly).
