Instructions
Step 1
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until browned and crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving fat in skillet. Finely chop bacon.
Step 2
Add onion and okra to skillet with bacon fat and cook, stirring until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chopped bacon.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, cornmeal, brown sugar, and cayenne. Whisk until smooth. Stir in onion, okra, and bacon mixture.
Step 4
Wipe skillet clean, add vegetable oil, and place over medium heat. Add small, rounded tablespoons of batter to skillet, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.
