Ingredients

• 4 medium Green tomatoes
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until fully combined.

Step 4

Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by another coating of the flour mixture. Set the coated slices onto a plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

In a separate small skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat. Add the granulated sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves and forms a light, syrupy glaze.

Step 9

Drizzle the sugar glaze over the fried tomato slices while they are still warm.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or unique snack.
