Rhonda’s Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup milk, or more as needed
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 green tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Directions

Heat oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk milk, cornmeal, flour, and egg together in a large bowl until it is a fairly thick batter.

Dip each slice of tomato into batter and immediately fry in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain fried tomatoes in a colander standing on edge to keep crisp as you fry remaining tomato slices.
