Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 4 teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ cup Yellow Cornmeal
- ½ cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
- 3 Green Tomatoes (cut to about 1-centimeter thickness, patted dry)
- 1 cup Canola or Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When a drop of water flicked into the oil sizzles, it’s time to fry the tomatoes.
- Carefully place 4 to 5 tomatoes in the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Then transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Notes
- Tip 1: Green tomatoes give a tart flavor but for a slightly sweeter flavor use tomatoes that are just turning yellow/very slightly pink.
- Tip 2: To help the batter stick you can pat each slice dry with a paper towel before breading.
- Tip 3: Served with remoulade sauce but can also be served with ranch or another favorite creamy sauce.
- Tip 4: Best if eaten immediately but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Tip 5: Best if reheated in an oven or toaster oven. If reheated in the microwave the crust becomes chewy rather than crispy.
