Steps:
- 1. Prepare drop biscuits and place them in a warm oven while you make the creamed tomatoes - or put them on a plate and cover with a clean towel
- 2. Peel and cut up tomatoes over a bowl to reserve the juice. Add juice and tomatoes to a 2 quart saucepan and add 1/2 c. water. Cook slowly over medim heat
- 3. Add the cold milk to a small cup, sprinkle with the flour and shake together until fairly smooth. Strain to remove lumps. Stir slowly in a thin, steady stream, into the hot tomatoes until it thickens and doesn't taste floury. Add margarine and sugar and salt and/or pepper to taste.
- 4. Place biscuit on plate, split in half and ladle creamed tomatoes over them. Enjoy. Little ones may like it a bit sweeter - add more sugar to taste.
CREAMED TOMATOES AKA TOMATO GRAVY
I've been eating creamed tomatoes over biscuits or cornbread my entire life. It's so yummy! For those who've never had it, it tastes similar to creamy tomato soup, but it's thicker. I grew up in rural West Virginia, and everyone always called it creamed tomatoes, but a few years ago, I found out that some people call it tomato gravy. Either way, it's the same thing. My hubby also likes to pour it over his fried or mashed potatoes! I hope you enjoy it. It's always been one of those down home comfort foods for me! Serve with homemade biscuits. Here's a link to a really good recipe! https://www.recipezaar.com/26110

Steps:
- Pour tomatoes in a saucepan or skillet.
- Add butter.
- Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender. (If using juice, then just bring it up to a simmer, and continue.).
- After tomatoes are tender, mix your flour and milk in a bowl until smooth, and add to tomatoes, stirring well.
- Add salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
- If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, either simmer on low until it's the desired thickness, or mix up a bit more flour and milk and add to your tomatoes.
- That's it! Serve over homemade biscuits, cornbread, potatoes, or whatever you like!

CREAMED TOMATOES ON TOAST
Juicy canned tomatoes melted into fragrant cream mimic an instant cream of tomato soup. Served over toast, they make for a simple yet indulgent breakfast, or anytime snack. This dish is inspired by a recipe in "Roast Chicken and Other Stories." In the book, Simon Hopkinson writes that his version was inspired by Edouard de Pomiane's "Cooking in 10 Minutes." Hopkinson bakes fresh tomatoes in garlicky, minty cream for half an hour. The version below, with canned tomatoes, woody herbs and a hint of cinnamon, is there for you when fresh tomatoes aren't - and, like de Pomiane's approach, takes closer to 10 minutes.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring the cream, thyme and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- As cream comes to a simmer, drain the tomatoes (no need to rinse), discarding the juices. Add the whole tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To eat, place a slice of toast in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, and spoon the tomatoes and plenty of cream over the toast. Season with more black pepper, if you like.
