  2. This is the Best old Fashion Recipe !!! Original
    I actually saw one recipe with 19 ingredients .????. Can you imagine in the old days lucky that had flour & salt. You could substitute flour and use Bread crumbs or cracker meal. ThankYou ❤️

  3. My friend’s wife made them for us on poker night and she made them just about all night till she ran out of tomatos and her husband ran out of money and sent us home.

    1. That’s 🤣

  4. I remember them with salt and pepper dredged in flour; then fried in hot fat drippings usually saved bacon grease.
    I dredged mine in pancake mix; sprayed with cooking oil; seasoned with seasoning salt; I got the seasoning salt recipe from Paula Deen she says she uses it on everything. 1 cup salt; 1/4 cup black pepper; 1/4 garlic powder. I added 1/4 cup onion powder.
    Cooked in air 15 minutes ( 8 minutes turn and then 7 minutes.
