I want to move on over now to a bread
0:13
that is so so good now you've heard me
0:18
talk about lace hoecakes my mama cooked
0:20
me when I was growing up for lunch and
0:22
dinner every day of her life well today
0:25
I'm gonna do something a little
0:27
couple of girlfriends from my hometown
0:29
of Albany Georgia make okra fry bread
0:32
now when they were telling me about this
0:34
I said y'all were talking about hoecake
0:37
cornbread with okra in it and they said
0:39
exactly so that's what we're fixing to
0:42
make we're going to start with a cup of
0:44
self-rising flour and we're going to use
0:47
1 cup of plain cornmeal and I'm gonna
0:51
add a little salt and a small diced
0:55
onion and here's the ingredient that
0:59
makes this cornbread so unbelievably
1:02
good and that's sliced okra and you want
1:08
to slice it while it's frozen now we're
1:11
gonna walk this batter very very thin so
1:14
I'm gonna put two and a half cups of
1:16
water and we're just gonna mix this up
1:20
and it's really best if you let it sit
1:22
for a few minutes because it'll thicken
1:25
up a little in that pretty all right I'm
1:28
gonna give this a quick stir and I'm
1:31
gonna let it sit here on the counter and
1:35
rest a few minutes now I'm gonna fry
1:37
these in clarified butter because I
1:40
don't want to run the risk of that
1:42
butter burning so let's see what we've
1:45
got here this is the prettiest batter it
1:49
almost looks like it has eggs in it the
1:52
way it's pulling but it's not it's from
1:54
the okra at this point you could add a
1:57
little bit more water and thin it out
1:59
but I think this is gonna be pretty good
2:03
alright I'm just gonna move it around
2:06
just a little bit just like that and
2:09
it's looking wonderful I love fried okra
2:12
and this is like a bonus fried okra and
2:18
all right I'm gonna start flipping them
2:20
and you see the way I'm picking up my
2:22
frying pan I'm letting my grease drain
2:25
to that side so when I flip my hoecake I
2:28
don't have to worry about I'm
2:30
splattering nothing burning me all right
2:33
let's check on her okra fried bread
2:36
when I had my cooking schools I try to
2:39
introduce all of my family and the last
2:41
school I did my Aunt Peggy was there and
2:44
I was able to cook and introduce her to
2:47
everybody and we just had a wonderful
2:50
wonderful time so I want to thank y'all
2:54
for those of you that might be watching
2:57
that came to the cooking school and I
3:00
hope that those of y'all that didn't
3:02
enjoyed seeing the clips all right what
3:16
it's unbelievable gertie
