The Irresistible Taste of Kettle Corn
Kettle Corn is a classic treat that transports us to fairs, carnivals, and cozy movie nights at home. With is perfect blend of sweet and salty, it has become a universal favorite. This week, we'll teach you how to make your own Kettle Corn at home, so you can enjoy this delicious snack anytime.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Heat the Oil: Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. The oil needs to be hot enough to pop the kernels, but not so hot that it burns the sugar.
Test the Heat: Add a few popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. When these kernels pop, you know the oil is at the right temperature.
Add Kernels and Sugar: Quickly add the rest of the popcorn kernels and the granulated sugar to the pot. Stir well to ensure that the sugar evenly coats the kernels.
Shake the Pot: Cover the pot again and shake it constantly to prevent the sugar from burning. This is a crucial step to achieve that perfect sweet and salty balance.
Monitor Popping: Keep shaking the pot as the kernels pop. When the popping slows down to about one pop per second, remove the pot from the heat.
Add Salt: Immediately sprinkle salt to taste and give the pot one last shakee to distribute the salt evenly
Cool and Enjoy: Let the Kettle Corn cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Kettle Corn fresh for the best taste experience!
