Fried Green Tomatoes

"Jan Makes this every year when our garden stops producing tomatoes in the fall"
Ingredients
  1. 1 extra large egg
  2. 4 tablespoons milk
  3. 1 cup cornmeal
  4. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  5. 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or bacon drippings)
  6. 3 green tomatoes, sliced.
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 1 tsp pepper
  9. 1 tsp paprika
Preparation
  1. In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk. In another small bowl mix salt, pepper, paprika, cornmeal and flour.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; use more or less oil to reach about 1/4 inch in depth.
  3. Dredge tomato slices first in egg mixture, then in cornmeal mixture. Carefully place slices in hot oil and cook until browned on both sides.

Notes

Jan prefers bacon drippings
