Combine the buttermilk and eggs in another bowl. Dredge the tomatoes in the flour, coating evenly on both sides, shaking off excess flour. Dip tomatoes in the egg and buttermilk mixture, coating evenly. Dredge them in the cornmeal, coating evenly, shaking off excess cornmeal. Add the tomatoes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
