4 very firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup shortening
Cut out stem ends of tomatoes and slice 1/2 inch thick.
Mix cornmeal, salt, sugar, and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat both sides of tomato slices with the mixture.
Melt Crisco in deep fryer over medium-high heat. Add as many tomato slices at one time as will lie flat in fryer. Lightly brown both sides, turning once; cook only until tender.
