Fried Green Tomato Pillows

1 c. flour
1 c. cornmeal
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 c. milk
2 large eggs
2 large unripe tomatoes (about 1 lb.) cut into 1/2 inch slices
a little oil or butter for the pan
sour cream or plain yogurt, optional garnish

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and eggs until frothy.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the milk
/egg mixture into this well. Stir until thoroughly combined, but
don't overmix.
Core the tomatoes and cut them into 1/2" rounds.
Meanwhile begin heating a little oil or melting a little butter in a
skillet over medium heat.
Add the tomato slices to the batter one by one, pushing them
around gently with a spoon until they are well coated. Lift them
from the batter with the spoon, and add them to the hot skillet.
(You might need to spoon a little extra batter on top of each
tomato, so no bald spots are peeking through.)
Fry on both sides until crispy and golden.
Serve hot, topped with sour cream or plain yogurt, if desired.
Serves 4-6

You can make this batter several days ahead and store it in an
airtight container in the refrigerator. If necessary, thin with a
little extra milk before coating the tomatoes.
