Fried Green Tomatoes

3 medium-large green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flourgenerous amount of fresh black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal ( I could not find the fine cornmeal and the regular worked OK)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
oil for frying
extra salt for sprinkling
Directions

Cut the tomatoes into ~1/4 inch slices
Combine 1/4 cup of the flour and a generous amount of fresh black pepper together in a bowl.
Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl.
Mix the cornmeal, parmesan, brown sugar, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup flour together in the third bowl
Lightly dredge the tomato slices in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off.
Bury the wet tomato slices in the cornmeal mixture, pat the coating onto them, then gently shake off the crumbs
Pour about 1/4-inch of oil into a heavy skillet and warm over medium-high heat
fry the slices in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while still piping hot.
