PUFFED CARAMEL CORN



Puffed Caramel Corn image

Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store. This is a great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!

CONFETTI CORNBREAD



Confetti Cornbread image

I adapted this from the Jalapeno Cornbread in Ann Hodgman's Beat This Cookbook (which is a MUST BUY!) The low fat suggestions are mine; I also doubled the cheese and added the onions, scallions, garlic, and hot sauce. The orinal recipe calls for canned jalapenos only, but I like to use fresh and add some extra color with serranos. Also, the original recipe calls for a 9X13 pan, but I found that it was too flat, hence the smaller pan and longer cooking time. I haven't tried it yet, but some crumbled cooked bacon or real bacon bits would taste really good.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)
1 cup low-fat sour cream or 1 cup fat free sour cream
1/3 cup corn oil or 1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup cream-style corn
3/4 cup fresh corn kernels or 3/4 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (I usually reduce by half)
1/2 cup grated low-fat cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese

1 -2 garlic clove, minced

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels for the best results.
  • Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the popcorn kernels.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot with popcorn kernels. This will prevent them from popping evenly.
  • Shake the pot constantly while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it stops popping. This will prevent it from becoming overcooked and tough.
  • Add your desired seasonings and toppings while the popcorn is still warm. This will help them to adhere to the popcorn.

Conclusion:

Confetti puffed corn is a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to add a festive touch to any party or gathering. With so many different ways to flavor and top confetti puffed corn, the possibilities are endless. So get creative and have fun!
