Country Fried Green Tomatoes (TNT)

Hi...
I made these last night and they were terrific! I have only tried making fried green tomatoes once and wasn't that impressed with it, but this recipe was great and so easy! Since there were only the two of us, I just used one large green tomato and that was just enough.
Enjoy.

Country Fried Green Tomatoes

6 medium green tomatoes, sliced
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup butter
Sprinkle the tomatoes with the sugar. Let stand for about 15 minutes. Combine the flour, salt and pepper. Coat the tomato slices. Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a skillet. Brown the tomatoes slowly on both sides. Remove each batch to a warm platter. Continue cooking until all tomato slices are cooked. Add more butter if needed. For crisp slices, serve as is. Or add 1/2 cup light cream or dairy half-and-half to the skillet. Heat, stirring into the drippings, and pour over the tomatoes. Makes 6 servings
