Drain on paper towels. Fried Green Tomato Batter* 1 egg 1 cup all-purpose flour about 1 cup of water (to make it as thick as pancake batter) Whisk these ingredients until smooth and set aside. Fried Green Tomato Dredge** 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sweet paprika 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Mix all ingredients together.
