Start your morning off right with a delicious and hearty breakfast from Grandma Black's recipe. Scrapple is a traditional Eastern US dish made from pork sausage, cornmeal, eggs, and other ingredients that create a crispy exterior and a soft, savory interior. Here are the steps to make this beloved breakfast dish:
Ingredients
------------
* 1 lb ground pork sausage (hot or mild)
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 3 tablespoons cornmeal
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 eggs
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/4 cup water
* 6 tablespoons butter
Equipment
----------
* Large mixing bowl
* Frying pan or griddle
* Spatula or wooden spoon
* Tongs or spatula for flipping
* Plate and napkins for serving
Instructions
------------
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and water until fully combined. Pour this mixture into the ground meat mixture and stir until everything is well mixed.
3. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to spread the scrapple batter evenly onto the surface of the pan, making sure it covers as much space as possible.
4. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the edges of the scrapple start to curl and the exterior becomes golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula or tongs to carefully flip the scrapple over and continue cooking for another minute or so until it's cooked through.
5. Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining scrapple batter, adding more butter as needed. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides such as eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. Enjoy!
