Old Fashioned Kettle Corn Ingredients * 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn * 1/4 cup white sugar * 1/4 cup vegetable oil * 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (or use white salt) Directions # Place the oil in the bottom of a large pot. # Add in the unpopped popcorn kernels with the sugar and salt (Apply lid). # Over a medium heat begin to pop the popcorn, constantly shaking the pot to ensure that the popcorn kernels and oil do not burn. # Once the popping has slowed down remove the pot from the heat. The ingredient list is spot on. It's VERY hard to not burn the sugar while only shaking the pot over a stove. I would suggest you heat the oil and sugar FIRST, caramelize the mixture to a golden brown and get it very hot...THEN throw in the popcorn. Then try shaking it. Other suggestion: I would at the very least stir the mixture while it's heating up with the cover off of your pot. Once it gets going, slam the lid and see how you do shaking like crazy. My final suggestion: You really need to be stirring the sugar/oil mixture vigorously to prevent scorching. If you're really determined to do it right, I'd use a wooden spoon to mix everything while it pops. Yup, you'll have to remove the cover and get some protection for your face and hands. This is what I do when I make it. Take a peek at the video on my website link below on how I make kettle corn with the professional equipment.
