Karen's Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Karen's Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe). This recipe comes from my mom and they are, hands down, the best fried green tomatoes. She makes these every summer with fresh tomatoes from her garden. My sister begs her to make them for her as soon as she sees tomatoes growing big and green on the vines. While most recipes call for breadcrumbs and oil, this one calls for flour and has you fry the tomatoes in butter, which helps give these an incredible flavor.
