Fried Green Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. cornmeal
1/2 c. flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
oil or solid vegetable shortening for frying
2 lb. green tomatoes (4 or 5) sliced 1/2 in. thick
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

In a shallow bowl mix together the cornmeal, flour and sugar. Dredge both sides of the tomatoes in the mixture.
Press the slices firmly into the meal so it will make a good coating. Put enough oil or shortening in an iron skillet to come to a depth of about 1/4 inch, and heat over medium high heat.
