    Recipe Introduction


    Take a trip to the county fair with a bowl of old-fashioned Kettle Corn. Your family will never want plain popcorn again!

    List of Ingredients




    Prep Time: approx. 5 Minutes.
    Cook Time: approx. 15 Minutes.
    Ready in: approx. 20 Minutes.
    Makes 10 cups (5 servings).

    1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
    1/4 cup white sugar
    4 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Recipe



    Place the popcorn and sugar in a large pot with 4 tablespoons vegetable oil. Over a medium heat, begin to pop the popcorn. Constantly shake the pot to ensure that the popcorn kernels and oil do not burn. Once the popping has slowed, remove the pot from heat.


    Reviewer's Notes:

    "After making it a few times, though, I do have a suggestion. The last time I made it was the best. Instead of using oil, I melted about 1/4 cup of butter flavored shortening. It made the kernels pop much faster lighter, and had a hint of a buttery taste."

    "I followed a prior review that used 2/3 cup popcorn and the same amount of oil and sugar."

    "I added 1/4t salt to the sugar and oil. This way the salt and sugar form a crispy coating around the kernel. Yummy!"

    "I used a blend of white and dark brown sugar and the result was one that no one at the party could resist! The second time I made this, I added a tablespoon of butter and popcorn has never been crunchier!"

    "Use all brown sugar, and this recipe comes out tasting like caramel corn!"
