Best Ever Kettle Corn
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil Or Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Popcorn Kernels
- 2- 1/2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Tablespoons Water
- Salt To Taste
- 1.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan until it is very hot.
- You should be able to feel the heat coming up from pan and see the oil rippling (I do this with my stove on a 7 out of 10 heat level).
- 2.
- While oil is heating, measure out the rest of your ingredients.
- You can combine the sugar and popcorn kernels if you want to conserve space/dishes, but keep the water separate!
- 3.
- When the oil is hot, dump the popcorn and sugar into the pan and stir quickly.
- The sugar and oil should combine to look like road slush (if youre not familiar with snowy driving conditions then just ignore that).
- Cover the pan.
- 4.
- Now, carefully pour in the water and cover pan immediately!
- The second the water hits the pan hot oil will go flying.
- I just lift the lid up a tiny bit, pour in the water and shut the lid right away.
- 5.
- Now, shake the pan.
- You can lift it off the burner to shake or slide it back and fourth, still touching the burner.
- Just make sure to move the popcorn around in the pan.
- It may take a minute or two to start popping, or it may start popping right away (this will have to do with how fresh the popcorn is).
- Keep it over the heat and keep shaking.
- 6.
- When the popping has slowed considerably, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the popcorn into a bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt and stir.
- 7.
- Let the kettle corn cool for a couple of minutes and then eat!
