This recipe was great... I thought I had flour and soon realized that I did not. But I substituted the flour with pancake mix and it turned out great!

Hot dang!! This is the one I been lookin fer... It hits just the right note for my Southern palate.. The thick crust is a winner, and that light hint of garlic is delicious. May add a tad of chili powder to next batch just for grins, but the original is the best I've tasted.. Thanks Audra!

While patiently waiting for ripe tomatoes, I chose to enjoy some green ones. Loved the thick, double-dipped crunchy coating! I added a bit extra garlic powder, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. These were very tasty. My kids enjoyed them as well. Thanx for posting!

This recipe is very tasty! IF you want to spice the tomatoes up a bit go ahead and add a 1/4 to 1/2 of TSPN of red pepper flakes & a TSPN of cayenne pepper. **Add the additional ingredients to the cornmeal and flour mix. Also, add only the amounts you believe you may take on!
