Recipe by: Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook Heat bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Dip tomatoes in eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Fry in bacon drippings until golden brown on both sides, adjusting heat to fry slowly.

Transfer tomatoes to a serving platter, using a slotted spatula.

Measure drippings remaining in skillet; return to skillet. For each Tbs of drippings, stir in 1 Tbs flour until smooth. Cook over low heat for 1 min, stirring constantly. For each Tbs flour you have used, stir in 1 cup milk, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper until smooth. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly; pour over tomatoes.
