4 medium-sized green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick
1/2 cup (125 ml) buttermilk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) freshly ground black pepper
About 1/2 cup (125 ml) flour seasoned with salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions:
In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, eggs, salt, and pepper, and mix
well. Put the tomato slices in this mixture, toss to coat, and let sit at
room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Dip each slice of tomato in the
seasoned flour mixture and fry, a few at a time, in a deep fryer with 3 to
4 inches (8 to 10 cm) of oil that has been heated to 350F (180C). Fry for 3
to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Serves 4 to 6.
