Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon Paula Deen’s House Seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
4 cups okra, chopped

Directions

Heat the oil in a cast iron Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl add flour, seasoning, buttermilk and egg. Mix well together. Add okra to mixture and coat. Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture into the hot oil. Constantly flip fritters to cook and brown evenly, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place in a serving bowl or platter and serve hot.
