Ingredients
Scale
4 medium green tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
Salt and pepper to taste
Canola oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the tomatoes: Start by washing the green tomatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay them on a plate or cutting board and sprinkle a bit of salt on both sides.
Get the batter ready: In one bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re frothy. In a third bowl, pour the buttermilk.
Breading time: Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then coat it in the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the cornmeal.
Heat the oil: In a large skillet, pour enough canola oil to reach 1/4 inch depth. Heat until shimmering.
Fry away: Add the breaded tomato slices, frying each side until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain and serve: Transfer the tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
