Tried this one twice, but used a couple of substitutions both times. First time I subbed jiffy mix, but I don't recommend this, as jiffy mix doesn't fry well--it crumbles and falls apart while soaking the oil up. Second time I subbed hush puppy mix, which worked great! For technique, it doesn't say to drain the goo before dredging, but it definitely worked better when I did. Also, medium high on my electric smoothtop is waay too hot, and turning it down in the middle is too late to do any good. I can't really speak to the flavor of plain cornmeal with salt and pepper, I expect it would be fine, though mild. But on technique I give this one 3 stars because you kinda have to know how to treat okra in order to get this recipe to work perfectly--and I'm a novice. :)
