Fried Green Tomatoes

Southern comfort food at it's absolute best. I've never been a fan of cornmeal so here's my deep fried version.

Fried Green Tomatoes

1 cup milk
1 Tbl vinegar
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
dash cayenne pepper
Thinly sliced green tomatoes
Oil for frying

Heat oil in a dutch oven. Meanwhile mix the milk and vinegar together and let thicken slightly. In a bowl mix together flour, baking soda, salt and cayenne add the milk/vinegar and stir to combine. Should be the consistency of thinnish pancake batter. if not add more milk. Dip tomaoto slices in the batter and fry until golden brown, place on paper towel to drain sprinkle with salt serve with horse radish ranch for dipping.

Horseradish Ranch

1 cup prepared ranch dressing (I prefer Wishbone)
2 Tbl Horseradish (not the cramy kind)

Mix together.
