1 large egg, lightly beaten (I use Eggbeaters)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3-4 medium-size green tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch slices
- Vegetable oil (Oh so much better if you use bacon grease!!)
- Salt to taste
- Combine egg and buttermilk; set aside.
- Combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or pan.
- Dredge tomato slices in remaining 1/2 cup flour; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in cornmeal mixture.
- Pour oil to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet; heat to 375°. Drop tomatoes, in batches, into hot oil, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels or a rack. Sprinkle hot tomatoes with salt.
