Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve fried green tomatoes with mixed greens and a remoulade sauce.
  • tip 2
    If you don’t have buttermilk, use 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice plus enough whole milk to make 1 cup; let stand 5 to 10 minutes before using.
  • tip 3
    To tell if the oil is ready for frying, hold a wooden spoon in the oil so the base is touching the bottom of the pan; if the oil bubbles around the spoon, it’s ready. For best results, don’t crowd the pan when frying.
