Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal ( I used a very course ground)
1 cup self-rising flour ( I just used flour and baking powder)
2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups water
1 (16 ounce) bags whole okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds ( I used fresh and it was better IMO)
1/2 cup chopped vidalia onions
1 tablespoon clarified butter, plus more as needed ( I used just regular unsalted butter)
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour and salt.
Whisk in water to make a thin batter.
Stir in okra and onions.
Over medium heat, add clarified butter to a cast iron skillet.
Use a small ladle to pour batter onto skillet.
Pan should be hot enough to make batter sizzle.
Cook until underside is browned, about 3 to 4.
minutes, then flip and brown on the other side.
Repeat with additional batter, adding more butter as necessary.
I baked this at 350 in the cast hot iron skillet like a loaf of cornbread and it was delicious.
