Make Kettle Corn at Home

If you're craving sweet popcorn, lightly glazed in sugar, warm and crunchy, read on to make it a home!

Ingredients

• At least 2 tablespoons of Real Theater Popping Oil or pure coconut oil
• ½ cup of Mushroom Brains or your favourite type of popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons of white sugar

Preparation

1. Put your Whirley Pop on the stove at medium-high heat
2. Once heated, add the oil, kernels and sugar
3. Close the lid and turn the handle continuously to mix ingredients until the popping stops – about 3 minutes.
4. Pour the kettle corn immediately into a large bowl
5. Optionally, add a trickle of Buttery Topping for extra flavour

Notes on preparation

We use more oil for kettle corn than regular popcorn because we want the sugar and oil to mix well, which helps in coating the popcorn evenly as it pops. The temperature is also important; with too little heat, you could end up with unpopped kernels, with too much heat, the sugar can burn. A little bit of experimentation might be necessary depending on your stove.
