SWEET AND SPICY KETTLE CORN

We love Kettle Corn.. and well, we love spicy! (not my pic, found at foodiewithfamily)

Categories     Popcorn

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
1/2 c popcorn kernels
3 Tbsp granulated sugar (i use more)
2 Tbsp ancho chili powder (i use more)
2 tsp kosher salt (i use sea salt instead)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in the bottom of a heavy 4 qt pan over medium heat until warm, about 1 minute. Add popcorn in a single layer; sprinkle with sugar. Cover pan.
  • 2. Let kernels cook, shaking occasionally to prevent burning. When popping slows to 3-5 seconds between pops, remove pan from burner and pour into bowl. Sprinkle the chili powder/salt mixture onto the popcorn, shaking popcorn to evenly distribute the salt/chili powder mixture. Serve immediately.
  • 3. I don't actually measure my ingredients for doing this. The measurements are an estimation only. I usually just mix up some salt and chili powder and keep it in a lidded bowl and "eyeball" the oil and sugar. The popcorn measurement is the only thing that is an exact amount because it makes the amount of popcorn I want when I do this.

Categories     Popcorn

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg 3 oz each microwave popcorn
4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp water
3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare popcorn according to package directions. Pour popcorn into a large bowl allowing plenty of room for tossing popcorn with sugar and spice mix.
  • 2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar and water, bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in ground cayenne pepper.
  • 3. Remove from heat, mixture will be very hot. Pour half of mixture over popcorn and carefully toss with wooden spoons. Add remaining sugar and spice mixture and combine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels: Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, choose a variety that is specifically designed for popping, such as popcorn kernels.
  • Use enough oil: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of oil when making kettle corn. This will help to prevent the popcorn from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Add the sugar and spices at the right time: The sugar and spices should be added to the popcorn after it has started popping. This will help to ensure that the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.
  • Keep the popcorn moving: Once the popcorn starts popping, keep it moving constantly. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Don't crowd the popcorn: Don't overcrowd the pot with popcorn kernels. This will make it difficult for the popcorn to pop evenly.

Conclusion:

Spicy kettle corn 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 spicy treat that will be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive snack, give spicy kettle corn a try.
