Kaye'S Okra Fry Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup cornmeal (I used a very course ground)
    1 cup self-rising flour (I just used flour and baking powder)
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 1/2 cups water
    1 (16 ounce) bag whole okra, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (I used fresh and it was better IMO)
    1/2 cup chopped vidalia onion
    1 tablespoon clarified butter, plus more as needed (I used just regular unsalted butter)
Preparation
    In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour and salt.
    Whisk in water to make a thin batter.
    Stir in okra and onions.
    Over medium heat, add clarified butter to a cast iron skillet.
    Use a small ladle to pour batter onto skillet.
    Pan should be hot enough to make batter sizzle.
    Cook until underside is browned, about 3 to 4.
    minutes, then flip and brown on the other side.
    Repeat with additional batter, adding more butter as necessary.
    I baked this at 350 in the cast hot iron skillet like a loaf of cornbread and it was delicious.
