How to Make Kettle Corn at Home

Since you are preparing this kettle corn recipe in the air popper, you will need to plug-in your popper and check if it is heating up properly. Now to the popping try add the popcorn kernels and the oil. Mix the two ingredients before you insert the tray so that the oil is evenly coated on the kernels. Switch on the popper and make sure all the kernels are popped evenly, then remove them in a large paper bag. Now, sprinkle the white sugar in the bag and the salt, and shake the bag excessively to coat all the popcorn with the two. You can either serve this popcorn or caramelize it by placing the bag in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, and your super crispy flavored popcorn recipe is ready to be feasted on!

How to Make Kettle Corn on the Stove The process is very similar to that of the air popper. The only difference is that, you will need a popper which is not electric but can be heated on the stove (the usual ones). You can also use any other steel container with a lid over it for this process. The remaining process for making kettle corn is the same as mentioned above. Once the popcorn is ready, you can prepare finger licking popcorn balls with it.

Ingredients 1/4 cup un-popped popcorn 1/4 cup olive or corn 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt Before you add the kernels to the container for these easy popcorn recipes, add them to a bowl and mix them with the olive or corn oil. Once they are coated well, add them to the popper or container and place the lid tightly. Place it on low heat on the stove and make sure you keep an eye on the popcorn as it might get burnt. Once you start hearing the popping, remove from the heat and place the kettle corn in another bowl. Mix it with salt and sugar, and serve hot and crunchy!

With these simple recipes, I am sure you are waiting to try it out. So, go ahead and enjoy an exciting movie with your friends and family over a large bowl of healthy kettle corn.
