Fried Green Tomatoes

I’m blessed beyond measure! My passions are my spiritual growth in God, Family, Cooking for family and friends, photography, and an IC overcomer!

subheading: Ingredients:

2 large green tomatoes, or 3 medium

1 cup flour

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk or milk

1 tablespoon Crystal hot sauce

1 sleeve of Saltine crackers, crushed thoroughly

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Peanut oil for frying

Sprinkle the flour into a shallow dish. Add salt and pepper to the flour until you can distinctly taste the salt and the pepper.

In another dish, whisk together the egg and the buttermilk or milk and the hot sauce. In another shallow dish, mix together the crushed crackers and the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Heat about two inches of peanut oil in a large, heavy skillet.

Slice the green tomatoes into ½-inch slices. Dip the slices first into the flour, coating both sides, tapping off any excess. Next dip into the egg/buttermilk mixture and then into the cracker mixture, coating thoroughly.

Fry until they are golden brown, turning once or twice. Drain on paper towels. They taste best if they’ve had a little time to cool, but are still quite warm.
