Who doesn't love popcorn!? We love popcorn in our house. It's one of those healthy snacks that feels like such a treat. Either for a family night in snuggling & watching movies, or for a lunch box or afternoon snack. Popcorn is always a winner. Although I have to admit I was getting bored with the same old salted popcorn, so what did I do? I added sugar of course! This recipe makes such a big batch that the sugar isn't too 'naughty', unless you eat the whole batch.. hehehe This recipe would also make a great gift in a hamper for Christmas time. You can swap the salt for a sprinkle of cinnamon for that warm festive touch
Ingredients
¼ cup Vegetable oil, I use refined coconut oil
¼ cup Sugar, I use Rapadura sugar
½ cup Organic popcorn kernels
Salt, I use pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
Heat oil with 3 test kernels in large, deep, heavy pot with the lid on.
Once the test kernels pop, your oil is hot enough. Add sugar, popcorn kernels & stir a bit, then cover.
Shake pot every few seconds, it must be done so the sugar & popcorn won’t burn.
Once popping has slowed, remove pot from heat and keep shaking until there’s no more popping.
Tip into a BIG bowl. My biggest bowl isn't big enough so I use a wok!
Use a big spoon to mix it up and add a couple pinches of fine salt.
Break up any clumps, and let cool just enough to dig in!
TIP: Now Is a good time to put some into snack bags for lunch boxes..so it's not all eaten at once!
