Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are so good they've had an old country song written about them. "Fried green tomatoes taste so fine. I love to eat them with a buddy of mine..." Singing about them is pretty good but eating them is way better. This recipe is designed to fry one large tomato. If you want to do more than that you can stick to a 2:1 ratio. It's not a science, I just mix and go.

2/3 cup self rising cornmeal mix (I used white cornmeal)
1/3 cup self rising flour
Mix these together in a bowl or plastic bag

Butter milk for dipping
Canola oil for frying

Slice the green tomatoes and dip them in buttermilk. Coat them in the meal and flour mixture. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain and sprinkle them with salt.

Eat up!
