My grandma used to prepare a Czech pastry similar to this one, complete with a homemade prune filling and streusel topping. To make it work with the bread maker, I made a small modification. The effort was worth it for them!

Delicious! I added some “Slap ya Mama’s” seasoning to the flour, and made a creamy chipotle sauce to pair with them. Great on their own or added to a grilled cheese. Reheated nicely in the air fryer the next day as well.
Delicious but I upped the flavor by frying them in bacon grease.
It was an awesome recipe. I did make a couple changes. 1) Added onion powder and garlic powder to the sugar/salt/pepper mixture. 2) added Pepper and garlic powder to the flour.
I changed the recipe a bit bc of reading complaints about bland breading and falling off. I added Mrs dash to the four and I did 3 dips- first in flour then in egg w/mayo (no milk) then in flour breadcrumb Mrs dash mixture. Fried in coconut and avacado oil! Delicious!! I didnt lose any breading stuck like glue and the mayo instead of milk added a little zip to them!! Normally I don’t change recipes this much but glad I did!
I made these for dinner with pinto beans and cornbread. They were the BOMB-DIGGITY! I used Kentucky Seasoned Flour (I’m a KY Girl!). It has all the basic ingrediants in this recipe, plus a few extra spices for kick! I served them with Ranch Dressing and they were a HIT! The plate was clean before I could get a pic!
Best fried green tomatoes I ever made! Tried to mimic a favorite restaurant and topped each with homemade pimento cheese and a drizzle of honey Sriracha sauce. Amazing!
These are so delicious! Made them with green tomatoes from my garden and they were so yummy! Served them up with sriracha and buttermilk ranch.
It’s easy however I should have cooked my tomatoes just a tad longer. They are Delicious regardless it was my first time making them!
Light breading, just perfect!
Used coconut oil instead of butter, and skipped the sugar. Phenomenal!
turned out very nice. First time I have ever had green tomatoes.
So delicious! Wow!
Added salt and pepper to e flour to give a little more flavor. Thought these were terrific!
I have made these several times however, I made substitutions. I did not like the flour. I used Italian bread crumbs and used butter for the frying.Yummy.
Never tried fried green tomatoes before, really good recipe!
Made as is with no changes and it was excellent!
These are delicious! I used Panko instead of a double dip of flour and added chopped fresh basil to the Panko. They were crunchy and flavourful. I used half butter and half safflower oil to fry them. They turned out beautifully golden brown and the tomatoes were a perfect texture. Thanks for the recipe!
Amazing! I already had a dregde made with half flour and half corn meal, inion and garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and black pepper. I added same ingredients to wet slur egg and milk plus the sugar. amazing!
I made these tonight, WOW, it reminded me of my Southern upbringing in OK… I didn’t use butter, just margarine I had & added a small amount of Olive Oil … They brought me back to my ”childhood”… My Fiancee had never had FGT, so he ate a few & liked them!! Will make this again!! I’m growing my own tomatoes, so they’re really Fresh ”Off The Vine”… Yummy!!
These were delicious. That touch of sugar added a whole new twist. And since it’s breaded in flour and not the traditional corn meal, you don’t get that gritty texture (not that I don’t like them made with cornmeal also), but this is definitely a nice change. Even my husband are them (he’s the one who doesn’t like cornmeal) and has asked me to make them again!
Easy to make, though I will probably bake next time, sort of a shake and bake.
