    Habbersett is the best brand of pork scrapple if you want to try it. If you live anywhere within a 100 mile radius of south eastern Pennsylvania it will be in the same section of the supermarket as bacon and breakfast sausage. If you aren’t in the area, Publix carries it in the frozen breakfast section. I got several southern friends hooked on the stuff when they visited me up north and the say they can get it at Publix. Just put it in the fridge until it’s fridge temperature, cut it around 3/8” thick or so and pan fry it on one side until that side is getting crispy and then flip it and crisp the other side. When done it will be crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I eat it plain and sometimes it mixed some with my egg yolk. Some like ketchup or pancake syrup on it, and some like to dip it in flower before frying. I was born and raised in SE PA and love Habbersett Scrapple, but the stuff they serve at places in Lancaster is usually locally made and can be hit or miss, and I don’t chance it anymore in that area after getting sick once.

    Please if you buy scrapple, get it from a Local Made Farmers Market and PLEASE do not bread it or deep fry like restaurants do. Scrapple taste best the easy way. Slice thickness you want, no oil or anything needed to your pan, get the pan nice and hot, works great in cast iron as well, place scrapple in the pan and don't touch it. When checking usually maybe 4 minutes if you can flip with ease it's ready to be flipped (Time depends on cooking source). If it doesn't move onto you spatula with ease it's not ready, will be crispy. Love Shady Maple.
