Author Notes: Try to get past the name of this recipe. It really is quite tasty and the perfect time to enjoy the best maple syrup you can find…I like Grade A Dark Amber. I serve this for breakfast with applewood smoked bacon and sliced melon. When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, my father insisted on a dreadful side dish called “scrapple”, best forgotten! —Lizthechef
