Old Fashioned Kettle Corn Recipe
Super Easy Homemade Kettle Corn with this recipe! You won't believe how amazing this stove top recipe is!
Equipment
- 1 Large Pan with Lid
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup Cooking Oil – I like to use Coconut Oil but you can use any kind you prefer
- 1 Cup Popcorn Kernels
- 1-3 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1-3 drops Food Flavoring Oils optional
Instructions
- Put enough Cooking Oil into your Large pan to cover the bottom about 1/8 of an inch. If using Coconut Oil..it melts and measures to the exact amount as other cooking oils. Heat up..
- You will know when it’s hot enough for popping when you drop one kernel in and it starts to sizzle
- Then cover bottom of pan with ONE layer of Popcorn Kernels
- Now pour in Sugar..Now this is a personal preference. I was making Kettle Corn for Littles so I didn’t add much sugar..about 1 tsp. But you can add up to a Tablespoon for a Medium Large Pan.
- Then stir so that Sugar is evenly distributed
- Now put the lid on and let it Pop. I really don’t do the shake, shake..I just let it pop and maybe lift the pot up off of the stove toward the end of popping and shake it a couple of times...then I set it back down and let it finish popping.
- Did you know that you can also make FLAVORED popcorn? Yep! All you do is to put 1/4 – 1/2 tsp .of any kind of flavoring you want (food flavoring not essential oils) in with the Cooking Oil before heating. Here again this is a preference on how much flavoring and what kind.
- WARNING: Make sure you put the flavoring in the Cooking Oil while it is still cold! Otherwise it will be like pouring cold water into hot oil! OUCH!
