How to Make Batter Fried Fresh Tomatoes
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 large egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Slice 2 pounds ripe tomatoes into ½-inch thick slices. Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, dip each tomato slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered tomato slices in the hot skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and tender.
- Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy these delicious fried tomatoes for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. They pair perfectly with bacon or a side salad!
