Make Your Own Kettle Corn Recipe

December 18, 2006 By Delia

kettle-corn-recipe-12-18-06.jpgYou know, why rely on Crate & Barrel for that fun Reindeer Food when you can stitch up a bag real fast & make your own Kettle Corn?  This recipe is very simple & quick, so get to it & enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup corn oil
  • 1/4 cup popcorn
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Salt

What’s Next:

Use a decent size pot (with a lid) and pour in enough oil to have about an 1/8″ covering the bottom. Don’t use too much oil. Too much oil will sog the popped popcorn and you’ll probably get sick to your stomach when you eat it.

Dump in enough popcorn to make a single layer in the pot. Put the pot on medium high heat. When you see the corn start to get excited but before it starts to pop, quickly pour in the sugar as evenly as you can across the top.

Cover and shake back and forth to pop (like Jiffy Pop). When you pull it off you need to slightly salt it. You can’t pop every single kernel because you would scorch the popcorn. Also pouring in the sugar too soon tends to make the popcorn scorch more easily. If you pour it in too late, the sugar stays granular and grainy. Also get the popped popcorn out of the pot as quickly as possible to prevent scorching.

Eat well & Laugh often!
