Combine egg and buttermilk; set aside.

Combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or pan.

I've never made fried green tomatoes before but my mouth is watering right now.

1. Anything with buttermilk is good

Sounds like a good recipe. I have made fried yellow squash using a similar recipe, but it did not call for cornmeal. Cornmeal is good for a fried coating as it holds up better than flour in the frying process and puts a good crisp coating on the food. I always use cornmeal if I fry okra and it is a must when frying fish and shrimp.

2. awww, thanks, littlestar

It is good to have something in the back pocket for green tomatoes, as we all know the cold weather and shorter days are just ahead.

Now, on another, but related topic, "Fried Green Tomatoes" is my favorite movie.
