Okra Fritters

By á-1590

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh okra, chopped
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup water
• salt and pepper to taste
• vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Chop okra into pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients, expect the oil, and mix well. Pour enough oil into a skillet so that the oil comes up the side ½” on the pan. Heat to 350°. Using a spoon, drop dough into the oil (if it doesn’t sizzle right away then the oil is not hot enough). Let the dough fry on each side about 3 minutes or until it is crispy brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle salt over top and serve while still warm. Dip in ranch dressing if desired.
