Fried Okra

Sift flour mixed with a little corn meal into pan. Add salt and pepper. Pour Canola Oil into an iron skillet, about 1/2 an inch high, and heat on while until the oil is very hot. Place cut fresh or frozen okra into the flour mixture and coat the okra very well. Fry the okra in the hot oil until the okra turns golden brown. Carefully remove the okra and place on a dish lined with paper towels to soak up the extra grease. 

Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:

• 7 boiled eggs
• 1/4 tsp. mustard
• Mayonnaise
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Sweet Pickle Relish to taste
• Paprika

Peel, then slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yokes onto a plate and mash the yokes with a fork. Add 1/4 tsp. of mustard and mix well. Add mayonnaise until you get the mixture to the right consistency. Add salt, pepper, and pickle relish to taste. Spoon the mixture into egg whites and sprinkle with paprika before placing the eggs in a serving dish. This prevents getting paprika all over the serving dish.

Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of White Lily Self-Rising Flour
• 1/4 cup Crisco Shortening
• 1 Cup of Buttermilk

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sift 2 1/2 cups of flour into mixing bowl. With your fist, make an indention in the flour, add the Crisco and mix in with your fingers. Add buttermilk alternately as you gradually work in about 2 cups of the flour to form dough.

Knead just to get smooth and firm enough to handle. Pinch off ball of dough, dip in flour and roll in hands to smooth. Place on greased baking pan. Repeat until all dough is used. 


Mash biscuits flat before baking in the oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until tops are light golden brown.
