Tomato Fritters


Published: Friday, August 14, 2026

6 firm, medium-size tomatoes

1 c. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

Pinch of pepper

1 egg

½ c. milk

1 Tbsp. butter, melted

Oil, for frying

Chill tomatoes thoroughly, then cut into thick slices.

To make the batter, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk and melted butter. Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using as few strokes as possible.

Dip tomato slices into the batter. Deep fry until golden brown, or pan-fry in ½" of hot oil, turning once. Serve hot with tartar sauce or Thousand Island dressing.
