Kettle Corn Made Easy

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Symphony of Flavors: Kettle Corn Made Easy! Do you remember going to the county fair and practically being hypnotized by the delicious aroma of kettle corn? It was unheard of to find this sweet and salty snack anywhere else, unless by chance a farmers market vendor showed up with a giant kettle for drawing in the crowds. People scrambled to pay whatever price for a coveted bag. Then we got to walk around using our fist as a utensil to shove a handful into our mouths. No one had the willpower to eat one kernel at a time. At least not anyone who had three brothers. 

KETTLE CORN MADE EASY

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup popcorn

Instructions:

Put butter, canola oil, brown sugar, and kosher salt in a microwave-proof bowl. Warm 20-30 seconds. Stir well. Place popcorn kernels into a microwaveable popcorn popper. Pour butter mixture over all. Stir to coat well. Shake the kernels to arrange them evenly. Put vented lid on top of popper and microwave on high setting 3-4 minutes, or until there are 1-2 seconds between pops. Microwave times may vary. Remove popcorn popper and divide kettle corn into serving bowls. Serve immediately.
