Creamed Scrapple

¼ cup butter

¼ pound fresh scrapple

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

salt to taste

1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

1 tablespoon maple syrup, or to taste

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Crumble in the scrapple, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in the milk, and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and maple syrup.
