Fried Green Tomatoes Unique by Paula Deen

She states at the beginning of this that her grandmother always used cornmeal but she uses flour.

3 or 4 large, farm green tomatoes
Salt
2 cups self rising flour or cornmeal
1 or 2 tsp pepper
veg oil for frying

Slice tomatoes to desired thickness (I prefer mine thin).  Lay out on a pan and sprinkle with salt.  Place in a colander and allow time for salt to pull the water out of tomatoes.  Mix flour with pepper.  Coat tomatoes with flour mixture and deep-fry until golden brown.
