This is the perfect batter for fried okra! A while back, I made a post about some fried squash blossoms. While we were eating them, David mentioned that he thought that some okra would be delicious if it were dipped in the same batter and fried the same way. He has said several times that he would love some fried okra like his mama used to make. I had eaten fried okra before, but I had never made any myself.
