Steps:

- 2. Combine the egg and water in another bowl.
- 3. Pour the water and egg into the cornmeal, stir until smooth.
- 4. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix till well distributed. ( Batter should be thick, wet, not dry.)
- 5. In a skillet, ( I use my cast iron ) heat oil on medium. For larger fritters, measure out about 1/4 cup of batter. Pour into the hot oil. Fry the cakes until the bottoms are brown and bubbles form on the tops and edges. About 3 minutes on each side. ( Add more oil as needed as you fry your fritters )
- 6. Drain on paper towels.
- 7. Serve with your favorite condiments. They go well with sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!!!
TEXAS OKRA FINGERS W/ JALAPENO SOUR CREAM
I got this from the HEB website and really liked them. Make a bunch and reheat later on a cookie sheet. You can serve with just plain sour cream, Ranch dressing or with the suggested flavored sour cream.
