Kettle Corn Recipe

popcorn

coconut oil

tbsp sugar

tsp salt

In a large 4-5 quart pot over medium high heat, melt the coconut oil. Add one kernel of popcorn and cover pot with the lid tilted to create a small vent,  until you hear the kernel pop.

Remove the lid and add the remaining popcorn kernels, sugar and salt. Stir to coat and then quickly flatten kernels on the bottom of the pot, just so they cover the bottom.

Cover the pot with a vent and shake gently. You will hear the kernels begin to pop.

Continue shaking over the heat for another 2-3 minutes or until the popping begins to slow down.

Remove from the heat and leave the lid on for just a few seconds until you hear the popping stop. Makes 8-10 cups of popped popcorn. Store in an air tight container.

How to make Homemade Kettle Corn

Bring the county fair home with this easy and delicious homemade kettle corn recipe. Every kernel is so sweet and crunchy, you won’t want to share!

Sweet Kettle Corn Recipe (+ Easy Snack Idea)

vegetable oil

unpopped popcorn kernels

sugar

Preheat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn and close the lid.

Once you hear the first pop, lift the lid and mix in the sugar. Then, put the lid back on and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning.

Once the popping slows down to 1 in 2 seconds, turn off the heat. Continue shaking the pot until all the popping stops.

Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to break down large clusters.

This is my hack for making sweet and salty country fair popcorn at home.When critics catalog the myriad culinary wonders produced by the American dessert masters known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, kettle corn is consistently ignored. And that’s messed up because the idea of popping corn in a sugar syrup, which then forms a thin, candy coating perfectly balancing the texture and flavor of the corn (the exact salty/sweet gestalt that makes bacon bacon) is a profound expression of genius.Temperature control is key, and the eponymous vessel goes a long way toward making this miracle possible. As I don’t own a large copper kettle, I employ a slightly unorthodox method that entails popping a small amount of corn and using that audible as a prompt to add the remaining kernels along with the sugar. It’s not an elegant hack, but it gets me where I want to go: back to the windy roads around Lancaster, Pennsylvania.There are essentially two varieties of popcorn: snowflake and mushroom. Mushroom popcorn pops smooth and round and kind of resembles the tops of mushrooms. I like this type for kettle corn because the smooth, firm texture provides a good surface for the candy coating to form. This recipe first appeared on altonbrown.com.

Homemade Kettle Corn

canola oil

mushroom popcorn kernels

fine sea salt

chili powder

Place the oil and a few popcorn kernels in a 6-quart metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.

Place the bowl over medium-high heat and shake constantly using tongs to hold the bowl. Once the kernels pop, carefully add the remaining kernels, sugar, and salt.

Re-cover the bowl and return to medium high heat. Continue shaking constantly until the popcorn finishes popping, about 3 minutes.

Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil. Stir in the chili powder. Cool for 5 minutes before devouring.

Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe

popcorn kernels

coconut oil ((or canola oil))

((to

Put 1 Tablespoon oil and 3 kernels of popcorn into a stovetop popcorn maker (like the whirly pop). Place the popcorn maker over medium heat and stir with the lid closed.

Once the three kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and the sugar and stir vigorously to combine with the lid on.

Stir continuously as the popcorn begins to pop.

When the popping slows down, turn off the heat and continue stirring until you do not hear any more popping.

Immediately pour half of the kettle corn into a large bowl. Sprinkle with popcorn salt. Repeat with the second half. Toss to combine.

Enjoy!

Awesome!! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

Hay, Laura! I really like your food blog :)

I just wanted to share a tip with you: you don't have to buy popcorn salt. Just run regular salt through a spice grinder or blender, and the granules become a powder. You might want to try that with the sugar as well(pastry makers call it "superfined sugar").

This was super easy and so good,  my family loved it!  I won't buy kettle corn again!
