Ingredients

• 4 large green tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

• 1 cup cornmeal

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Fried Green Tomatoes: Directions

1. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into even 1/4-inch thick slices.

2. Put cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl and mix well.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs well. Then add the milk and stir it together.

4. Dip each tomato slice first into the egg mixture, then coat it in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks.

5. Pour about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it over medium heat until warm.

6. Fry the tomato slices in small batches so they cook evenly, about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

7. Move the fried slices to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up extra oil.

8. Arrange the fried green tomatoes on a serving plate and serve with a small bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
