Method
- For the Tomatoes: In a medium bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce.
- In another medium, shallow bowl or plate, mix together flour, cornmeal and spices.
- Slice your tomatoes.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven on medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes, or until very hot.
- Submerge a tomato into the buttermilk and then dredge it in the flour-cornmeal mixture.
- Shake off the excess and set aside on a plate until ready to fry.
- Continue with all the tomatoes.
- Place the tomatoes into the oil, making sure they arent overly crowded.
- Fry them in batches if necessary.
- Once golden brown on one side, flip and fry the other side until browned.
- Then remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Set aside.
- Continue with the rest of the tomatoes.
- For the sandwiches: Sprinkle pepper on both sides of the bacon.
- Cook in the oven or in a pan over medium heat until crispy, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Spread mayo on the other side.
- Layer one or two tomatoes on top of the mayo side of the bread, then three slices of bacon, then the lettuce.
- Top with another piece of bread (butter side out) to form a sandwich.
- In a medium fry pan over medium-high heat, add the sandwich and cook until the bread is golden brown.
- Flip and cook the other side of the sandwich.
- Cut in half and enjoy with hot sauce, if desired!
- Alternatively, you could just fry the pieces of bread and then assemble the sandwiches.
