Wanna make your children all smile? Make kettle corn at home! Jacob got a bag of kettle corn for his birthday and well, it went waaaaay too fast. I went to AllRecipes.com and found this very simple quick recipe and even added some tips.
1/2 C unpopped popcorn
1/4 C white sugar
1/4 C oil
Do not double recipe, remember it fills the pot when popped so make several batches if need be. Have a popcorn bowl ready to dump freshly popped corn into.
To cook; Put the oil and 2 kernels of corn in a large pot(I used my stainless) and heat on med high. As soon as the first kernel pops you add the sugar and stir it around quickly. Then add the popcorn and put the lid on the pot. IMMEDIATELY shake the pot back and forth for 3 seconds on then 3 second rest over and over until popping ceases. It takes about 30 seconds for the popping to begin and maybe a minute for all the corn to pop. Immediately remove from burner and dump in large popcorn bowl. Salt the daylights out of it, call your husband, run in the bathroom, lock the door and eat a whole bunch if the children haven't smelled it yet and are not standing there with puppy eyes. Then return to the kitchen, call the children and serve the rest. Remind them that this deserves hugs and kisses.
