Steps:
- In a bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and 1 cup of water. Stir until flour is moistened. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to form a firm but smooth and pliable dough. Dough should not feel dry or too sticky.
- Scoop about 1 teaspoonful of dough and roll in palm of hands into 1-inch balls. Using the sharp end of one bamboo skewer, poke through each dough ball.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat about 3-inches deep of oil. Gently add balls into the oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until they float to the top. Continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until golden.
- With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Dip carioca in the sugar syrup until fully coated. Arrange in single layer on a wire rack set over a pan or on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
- Skewer in bamboo skewers if desired.

COUNTY FAIR KETTLE KORN
Don't you just love that kettle cooked popcorn available at county fairs? It's sweet; it's salty; it's deliciously crunchy. It's usually pretty expensive too! This is a great, SUPER EASY recipe to make it yourself - just like you enjoy at the fair - with only 3 ingredients! I ran across a similar recipe years ago online and tweaked it a bit... in other words, perfected it. I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- You will need a large cooking pot. It should have a wide opening and be slightly shallow ( large, deep soup pots don't work as well.) Make sure you have a lid that fits!
- Place 2/3 cup popcorn inside pot. The pot will be the perfect size if the popcorn just barely covers the entire bottom of the pot in one layer.
- Stir in 1/3 cup oil of your choice and cover with the lid. Heat over ( MEDIUM for electric range, MED-LOW for gas ) range, giving the pot a good shake every 60 seconds or so, until you hear the first kernel pop.
- Carefully uncover and add the 1/4 cup white sugar, stir and re-cover with the lid. Shake the pot every 20-30 seconds until popping slows to 2-3 pops every few seconds.
- Remove from heat and dump into large mixing bowl. While hot and sticky, salt to taste, stirring well.
- Enjoy!

- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your karioka a better flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook the glutinous rice: Overcooked glutinous rice will make your karioka hard and chewy.
- Let the glutinous rice cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the karioka from becoming sticky.
- Use a generous amount of sugar in the sauce: The sugar will help to balance out the tartness of the tamarind.
- Serve the karioka warm or at room temperature: Karioka is best enjoyed when it is warm or at room temperature.
