1 ½ cups white corn meal
¼ cup flour
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
Pinch cayenne
¾ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
½ cup onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup parsley, minced
*Needs more salt, cayenne, and pepper
Optional additions: ½ cup (or more) barely cooked fresh corn, 1 cup or more okra, sliced ¼ -1/2” thick.
Whisk together eggs and buttermilk; whisk in onion, garlic, parsley and any additions. Whisk together dry ingredients and gently fold all together. Shape in egg shaped amounts with 2 tablespoons and fry in 350 F oil until browned.
For a tasty and different fried okra, add 1 tbsp. or more additional buttermilk to make a less firm and flatter patty. These may be fried in shallow oil.
