KETTLE CORN POPCORN



Kettle Corn Popcorn image

This is the best kettle corn recipe I've tried. I make it in a Whirleypop stove top popcorn popper. You can use a 6 to 8 quart covered saucepan but make sure to stir it constantly or the kernels will burn. I use coconut oil but you can use canola or corn oil instead. I use brown sugar to give the popcorn a caramel taste but you could use white sugar as well. It will have a more neutral flavor.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven, covered, over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut oil and heat 30 seconds. To check if the Dutch oven is hot enough, add one or two popcorn kernels to the pan and cover with the lid. Cook until you hear the kernels pop, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining kernels and the sugar, stir to combine and cover. Shake the pan vigorously to coat the kernels in the sugar and oil. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the popping has slowed to about 2 pops per second, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and carefully uncover. Pour the mixture onto the prepared pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon salt. Be careful: the popcorn is extremely hot at this point. Allow the kettle corn to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.

RAINBOW KETTLE CORN RECIPE BY TASTY



Rainbow Kettle Corn Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: sugar, red gel food coloring, orange gel food coloring, yellow gel food coloring, green gel food coloring, blue food coloring, purple gel food coloring, coconut oil, white popcorn kernels, kosher salt

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 tablespoons sugar, divided
red gel food coloring
orange gel food coloring
yellow gel food coloring
green gel food coloring
blue food coloring
purple gel food coloring
6 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
12 tablespoons white popcorn kernels, divided, plus 12 kernels
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the sugar evenly between 6 small bowls, 2 tablespoons per bowl.
  • Dye each bowl of sugar a different color by adding 1-2 drops of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple food coloring. Stir each bowl with a clean fork until the sugars are sandy in texture. Note: We recommend gel food coloring, as the colors are more stable. Only use 1-2 drops; a little goes a long way.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels to a medium nonstick saucepan with a lid. Cover and place over medium-high heat. Once the kernels pop, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and 1 bowl of colored sugar. Immediately cover the pan and shake to combine. Cook, shaking the pan constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn, while the popcorn pops. Once the pops are more than 3 seconds apart, remove the pot from heat. Carefully remove the lid away from your body and pour the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Evenly sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt over the hot kettle corn. Let the popcorn cool completely, transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining colors, replacing the parchment paper as needed.
  • Combine all of the popcorn in a large bowl. Toss to distribute the colors evenly. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels will not pop as well and will result in a less flavorful popcorn.
  • Be sure to heat the oil until it is shimmering before adding the popcorn kernels. This will help to prevent the kernels from burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the popcorn maker. If you add too many kernels, they will not pop evenly and you will end up with unpopped kernels.
  • Keep the lid on the popcorn maker until the popping stops. This will help to keep the popcorn from burning.
  • Once the popcorn is popped, remove it from the popcorn maker and let it cool for a few minutes before adding the glaze.
  • The glaze is best applied while the popcorn is still warm. This will help the glaze to adhere to the popcorn.
  • Be sure to spread the glaze evenly over the popcorn. If you do not, some of the popcorn will be too sweet and some will not be sweet enough.
  • Let the glazed popcorn cool completely before serving. This will help the glaze to set and will also make the popcorn easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Kettle corn glazed popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a snack, give kettle corn glazed popcorn a try.
