Spread into a loaf pan and chill until the next morning. Slice thin, roll in all purpose flour and fry slow until brown and crisp. Serve right out of the skillet or with maple syrup. Yum good country cooking
I thought I heard a train whistle this afternoon. Magic train? Around the world Saturday? Well I can't miss this one. Did someone say Cookies? I'll make the sweet tea and coffee---I like mine strong
What you make is Scrapple. Its from an old PA Dutch recipe made of pork, milk, cornmeal and pepper. It can be made using any kind of leftover meat, but sausage is most often used.. When I was a kid my dad always preferred pork,too,when he made Scrapple. Mom just made plain mush when she made it. Fried Mush is made using just cornmeal, water and salt. Funny the things you remember 60+ years later! Makes one aware that kids are always watching, even when adults don't give it a second thought! I made some mush this morning to fry for breakfast tomorrow, so maybe I'll fry up some sausage patties with it! Sounds so good! Glad you posted this.
