These are beyond good.  One of the best places locally to savor fried green tomatoes is the Red Top Cafe in Apalachicola.

1 T self-rising flour
1 1/2 C self-rising flour
1 1/2 C buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 t salt, divided
1 t pepper, divided
3 green tomatoes, each cut into 4 slices
2 C vegetable oil

• Whisk together 1 T flour, buttermilk, eggs, 1/2 t salt, and 1/2 t pepper in a small bowl.
• Stir together remaining flour, 1/2 t salt, and 1/2 t pep­per in a shallow bowl.
• Dip tomato in buttermilk mixture; dredge in flour mixture.
• Heat oil in a heavy 10-inch skil­let to 350°. Fry tomato slices 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until gold­en. Drain on a cooling rack over paper towels. Serve im­mediately.

Serves 6 (unless I’m around, then it’s every diner for themselves!)
