When making this recipe as directed, the cornmeal falls off the beans into the oil for an inferior result. Here is how to remedy it: Instead of tossing the beans in buttermilk and dredging in cornmeal, mix the buttermilk with the seasoned cornmeal to make a wet batter. Dredge the green beans in flour, then coat them in the wet cornmeal-buttermilk mixture. Fry as directed. This will give you a bean coated in a thick, crispy batter.

Don't waste your time, money, and ingredients. I made this recipe to the l-e-t-t-e-r and the result was disasterous. The tasteless cornmeal ended up on the bottom of the pan. It fell off of the beans as soon as the beans were put into the oil. No way to fix this mess. Makes pretty good birdfeed tho.
