I can’t remember when I started making popcorn- under 10 though. (I was very young though.) The beauty of this recipe is that it all goes in one pan, but makes really good sweet crunchy popcorn. It doesn’t keep very long at all – hours- so make it hot when you need it, and don’t try to store it! It only takes a couple of minutes to make though!
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup pop corn kernels
1/2 tsp salt
Put a large pan (with a lid) on the stove to heat. Add the oil, then all of the other ingredients. Shake briskly to mix it all up. Leave on the highest heat until you hear the first kernel pop.
Once you hear a pop, shake the pan hard every couple of minutes. The popping should get more frequent, then begin to drop off. One it all starts slowing, get ready to pour the popcorn into a big bowl. There’s a fine balance to this bit- leave it too long, and the toffee coating starts to burn and taste bitter. Don’t leave it long enough, and there are too many un-popped kernels in the popcorn.
had the munchies and remembered yur fab popcorn you made when poppy was born for beckie, christina ME and fran and john. did not taste just as good, but this was my firt time, you have been playing with p.corn since you were 10!!!!!!!!!!! great.
