Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
- 4
Coat the Tomatoes
Dip each tomato slice into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Tomatoes
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
