Fried Green Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. self-rising flour
1/4 c. cornmeal
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. milk
3-4 green tomatoes

Preparation

Cut tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Combine first 5 ingredients; mix until smooth. Add additional milk if necessary until batter resembles pancake batter. Working in batches, dip tomato slices into batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowl. Fry in 2 inches of hot oil (375\u00b0) in a heavy skillet until browned, turning once carefully with tongs. Transfer to a colander to drain. To keep the cooked tomatoes from getting soggy before they are served, stand them up like wheels in the serving dish instead of stacking them.
