1/2 cup flour, PLUS 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Gruyere
oil for deep frying
Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Plunge tomatoes in water, and hold them there for about 1 minute. Remove tomatoes from water and hold them under cold running water to remove skins. Cut tomatoes horizontally, and remove seeds. Coarsely chop tomatoes. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and baking powder.
