1/4 cup of plain flour                        1 Tablespoon of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt                    1/4 teaspoon of pepper

4 medium green tomatoes                          2 Tablespoon of butter

Slice the tomatoes in 1/2 inch thick slices.  Mix flour, sugar, salt, and pepper on a piece of wax paper.  Coat the tomato slices with the flour mixture.  Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add tomatoes in a single layer.  Cook 3 - 4 minutes per side, until light brown and just barely tender.  Remove to a serving platter.  Repeat with the remaining tomato slices.
