Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Kettle Kernels Mushroom Popcorn
1/4 cup Plain White (Cane) Sugar
1/4 cup Either Corn oil, OR sunflower Seed Oil OR Vegetable oil
Salt to taste ( I really like fine sea salt)
The key things to remember when making Kettle corn at home (detailed instructions will follow):
*** * The oil has to be HOT, don’t put the kernels in right away. **
**** Once fully popped the popcorn has to be cooled to prevent the sugar from getting sticky. **
Preparation:
1. Heat oil in a large kettle (or Pot) over medium heat.
2. Then, toss in three kernels, and place the lid on the kettle.
3. Wait for the 3 kernels to pop. This will indicate the oil is hot enough.
4. Once popped, quickly stir in the sugar, and add the remaining kernels.
5. Replace the lid, and listen for the kernels to start popping.
6. Then, remove the kettle from the stove, and shake to keep the kernels from burning.
7. Return the kettle to the stove for a few seconds; then, lift and shake again.
8. Repeat until all kernels have popped.
9. Give a couple of shakes of Salt (adjust to taste)
10. Quickly remove from heat and toss the popcorn into a plastic or metal bowl large enough to hold all the popcorn. This step is important as it cools the sugar and prevents the sugar from getting sticky. If possible, get 2 large bowls and toss
11. Enjoy!
