Fried Green 'Maters & How to can them!

This one goes so far back that I can’t even tell you when it started and I’m 79. My grandma said that her grandma did it this way. That is back to the Civil War days.

You will need

Pan hot grease (I would use lard but you can use shortening)
I would use a cast iron skillet (you use whatever you have )

Green tomatoes, sliced about 3/8 in thick (they can be turning pink)
1 part whole egg, ½ part water, mixed
salt –n- pepper
½ cup Self Rising flour
1 cup corn meal mix

1) Heat grease until when you drop a bit of ‘mater in it sizzles.

2) Salt-n-pepper the ‘maters, then roll in flour. Now dip in egg wash, then into the corn meal, and into the hot grease. Fry very quick, till a golden brown.

3) Remove and place on a paper towel to blot off any grease. Then lightly salt.
