Fried Green Tomatoes

Directions

1. 1
   First you need to sweat your tomatoes. To do this, cut tomatoes into slices, sprinkle with salt and place in a colander for at least 30 minutes, so moisture can be pulled out of tomatoes.
2. 2
   After 30 minutes, pat tomatoes dry.
3. 3
   Start heating your vegetable oil so it is hot when you are ready.
4. 4
   Mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika together.
5. 5
   Dip tomatoes into buttermilk one at a time, then into flour mixture, then straight into grease.
6. 6
   Fry them immediately after dipping them. This will keep the batter light - so don't batter all at once and set aside
7. 7
   Fry until golden brown.
