No. 115 Tomatoes in Batter
(Plain.)
4 fresh tomatoes.
2 eggs.
2 teaspoons flour.
½ pint milk.
1 ounce butter.
1 teaspoon salt.
½ teaspoon pepper.
Scald and peel the tomatoes, and cut them in half (as one would split open a tea cake), and lay them cut side upwards in a baking tin which has been well greased with half an ounce of butter, sprinkle over them the pepper and salt, and place a small knob of butter on each half, pour in the batter, and bake in a hot oven for half an hour.
