Savory Green Tomato Fritters

 

2 1/4-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1  baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

2 large eggs

3/4 cups milk

4 tbsp butter melted

1 cup green tomatoes finely diced

2 tbsp roasted red peppers finely chopped

1 tsp pepper to taste

1 tsp salt to taste

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp chili powder

 

In a deep, heavy pan, heat 3 inches of oil to 365° F, or use a crockpot with a fry basket. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and soda. Stir in the green tomatoes, corn and seasonings. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and butter. Stir into the first mixture until just blended. Batter should hold its shape when dropped into hot oil–add more flour if needed to thicken the batter. Working in batches, drop the batter by tablespoons into the hot oil, cooking until fritters are a deep golden brown, turning about halfway through. Remove to paper towels to drain and enjoy!
