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.

I've never made kettle corn before, but this recipe made it so easy. I'm definitely going to be making it again.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this kettle corn is the exception. The sweetness of the sugar balances out the heat of the cayenne pepper perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak some chopped carrots and celery into the kettle corn and they never notice.

This kettle corn is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. It's not too sweet and not too spicy.

This kettle corn is so easy to make. I just popped some popcorn kernels in a pot, added the sugar and cayenne pepper, and stirred until the sugar was melted.

I love the addition of cayenne pepper to this recipe. It gives the kettle corn a nice kick without being too overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover popcorn kernels. I always have a bag of kernels in my pantry, so it's easy to make a batch of kettle corn whenever I'm craving a snack.
