How to Make Old Fashioned Scrapple
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 lb ground pork, 1 cup coarse ground cornmeal, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 tablespoon dried thyme (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped), and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan or a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with waxed paper, ensuring the paper extends 3-4 inches above the sides of the pan.
- Carefully pour the pork mixture into the prepared pan.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, gently unmold the scrapple onto a cutting board.
- Cut the scrapple into 1-inch squares.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Lightly dust the scrapple squares with the flour mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the scrapple squares evenly on both sides, cooking until golden brown and heated through. This may take 3-5 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade scrapple! Serves 12.
