Ingredients

6 large green tomatoes
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp kosher salt
dash celery salt
1 cup vegetable oil, more if needed

Wash and remove stems from tomatoes, then slice into 1/4 inch slices and set aside.
Mix flour, cornmeal, celery salt, kosher salt and pepper with just enough milk to make a thick batter.
In a heavy skillet, heat oil over high heat, then reduce to medium.
Dip tomato slices in batter, letting excess drip off, then add to oil and fry in batches until golden brown, turning once.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
