I was walking through my local farmer's market and a booth was selling a small bag of kettle corn for $6, I just couldn't do it. I had never tried kettle corn before, but I thought I would like it. When I got home I searched the Internet and came up with this recipe.
Definitely tasty, but I had to be careful of unpopped kernels that didn't stay at the bottom of the bowl, as well as some hard clumps of sugar. This recipe can be tweaked depending on how sweet or salty you want your kettle corn.
Homemade Kettle Corn
1/4 c. unpopped popcorn (I used white kernel)
1/8 c. white sugar
1/8 c. oil (I used peanut oil)
salt
1. Place 3 kernels of corn in the oil, cover the pan. Heat over medium heat until the kernels pop.
2. Quickly pour the sugar and stir into the oil. Immediately pour the remaining kernels into the pan and return the lid.
3. Shake the pan constantly while kernels are popping. You may need to pour some off to make more room. When you are nearing the end of the popping (longer time between pops), turn off the burner.
4. When kernels are almost done popping, pour them into the bowl and salt to your preference. Makes 1 big bowl of popcorn.
