Has anyone else tried breading Okra with Corn Bread Muffin Mix then pan frying?

Question

I personally like Glory Corn Bread Muffin Mix, but others work just as well.

Answer 1

Yeah I have done that with jiffy and a little extra flour
Have you tried to make muffins with chopped okra inside?
I add shoe peg corn,jalapeno, and onion too

Answer 2

The best okra we've ever made came from a recipe from the foodnetwork.com. It's by Paula Deen. You use a deep fryer, like a Fry Daddy. Absolutely delicious.

Answer 3

For savory muffins, diced jalapeno or a can of diced chilies, cream or whole kernel corn, shredded cheddar and sliced green onions (or chives). You can add sour cream to the batter, just look for a recipe in the search engine "corn muffins with sour cream" and that would score you a hit. You can also substitute buttermilk for the milk called for, it makes a richer tasting muffin.

Answer 4

I've tried Jiffy Mix. Although it fried up nicely, I didn't like the taste - too sweet for the okra.

Answer 5

Yup. Tastes darn good, right?

Answer 6

I just use straight corn meal, but your methods sounds just as good.

Thanks for the idea... I'll give it a try.
