My husband and I loved it, though I did replace some of the flour with cornmeal. I cut the recipe in half and still had enough to feed 4. This was a great find, thanks Paula

The OKRA in my garden is growing like crazy, plants are 7 feet tall so I need new recipes as I have alot!! I made this recipe & it was really good, seemed to need alittle more spice so the next time I made them I added Cajun seasoning to them & also sprinkled them again right after removing from the oil & they were excellant. Good job Ms. Paula grin
