1/2 cup flour, PLUS 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

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.
