My grandpa used to make this for us when I was young. We dip it in flour before frying it in a skillet.

Easy and good. My son thought it needed sugar, but I think just maple syrup is enough. Very substantial and filling.

Yep, I do it this way too. I had to learn how to make this for my husband, who comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch background; I couldn't stand to pay the price markets charge for this! Now I like it too.
