Fried Green Tomatoes

3 cups buttermilk
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for
seasoning
1/4 tablespoon cracked pepper, plus more for
seasoning
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
1 quart vegetable oil
3 green tomato sliced into 3 thick slices

Dredge the green tomato slices in the flour mix, then the egg wash, and then the flour mix again and set aside. Once the oil is at the correct temperature, slowly place the green tomato slices in the oil. (Make sure the oil is no higher than half way up your pan.) Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Once golden on both sides, lift the tomatoes out and place on a plate that has been lined with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
