Kettle Corn

on
Kettle corn is a perfect corn snack. Back in Arizona one of our local Mall had a kettle corn shack just outside their doors. Whenever they started a new batch a long line would form outside. That fresh popped corn was delicious.


Popped corn is a healthy snack and is very popular in my house. I usually make it in small batches. Today I realized I have not posted kettle corn on this space.


It is not really a recipe, a little of this and little of that.

You will need
1/2 cup unpopped corn kernels
3 tbsp. oil
3 tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt

Heat oil in a pan and add the corn kernels with the sugar. Shake the pan and cover with a lid. Keep the heat at medium high. When you hear the kernels popping shake and swirl the pan every 15 seconds. When the pops are a few seconds apart take off the lid and transfer the popped corn to a bowl. Sprinkle salt and mix well.


Enjoy!

    Everyday affair at home, both the kids go crazy listening to that popping sound and the aroma, they will be hovering in the kitchen till i give them. If the elder one takes one popped corn from his lil bro's bowl, that is all. next world war starts there!!! :)
