Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk together flour, cornflakes, baking powder, salt, pepper, and sugar in a shallow bowl until well combined. Pour milk into a separate shallow bowl.

Step 3

Gently press 1 tomato slice into flour mixture to coat on both sides and shake off any excess. Dip into milk, then press again in flour mixture. Repeat with remaining tomato slices. Place breaded tomato slices in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.

Cook breaded tomato slices in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
