Fried Okra

This southern classic is a staple and a treat in many families!  Especially, those of us who grew up in the south.  My grandmother made the best fried okra!  I was unable to find her recipe after she died but I've been using a recipe that's pretty darn close!  I usually eat mine with ranch or Cajun style hot sauce.  Give this recipe try and tell me what you think!
