Instructions
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the Okra. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all Creole Spice Blend ingredients.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together Stone-Ground Cornmeal, Rice Flour, and 2 tablespoons of the Creole Spice Blend.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Buttermilk and Egg Yolks.
  5. Heat Rendered Duck Fat in a 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Dredge Okra pieces in the Wet Batter, then coat thoroughly with the Breading mixture, pressing to adhere.
  7. Carefully add Okra to the hot Duck Fat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
  8. Fry for 3-4 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and very crispy.
  9. Remove Okra with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
  10. Sprinkle with remaining Creole Spice Blend and serve immediately.
