Deep Fried Okra

1-1/2 cups okra, cut-up
2 tbs. buttermilk
2 tbs. flour (or cornmeal.  I like to do 1/2 flour and 1/2 cornmeal)
1 tsp. salt (I use pepper also)
1 egg, beaten





Boil okra, drain and Mash*.  Add all other ingredients.  Drop by tsp. into hot oil.  Fry until golden brown.

*The recipe above is the original one.  My modified one is, first of all,  I don't mash my Okra.  I just cut them up, season them, roll in egg buttermilk mix, and then in my 1/2 and 1/2 cornmeal/flour mixture.  You will need to double the total amount of buttermilk/egg mix and the cornmeal/flour mix in order to cover the okra.
