Best Answer

You put enough vegetable oil in a frying pan (one that has a lid) to cover the bottom of the pan, then you pour in the popcorn kernels, starting it on medium high or so, but adjusting depending on how fast the kernels pop. Make sure the lid is on so they don't fly out and burn you. Watch the corn, and listen to it as it pops. When the space between pops slows down a lot, you want to remove it from the heat and dumped the popped kernels in a paper bag (like the kind they used to use at grocery stores, double-bagged if possible). It helps to soak up some of the excess oil, but you can use a large metal bowl if that is all you have. Salt to taste.

Pop more pans-full as needed, and then when you have it all done, you melt some butter in the still-hot pan (depending on how much popcorn you made). Pour it over the popcorn, and then shake it up quickly, holding the bag closed, to distribute the butter evenly. (If using a metal bowl, mix quickly spoons or with clean hands (they will get very greasy and will have to be washed again). Then taste it and see if it needs more butter. You'll get the hang of how much to pop for your family, and how much butter to use for that amount quickly.

Put about a quarter cup of cooking oil in a deep pot, throw in about a half cup of kernels, cover it with a lid, cook on medium high until it stops popping, shake occasionally. BE CAREFUL IT CAN BE HOT!

It is generally a matter of putting the bag in the microwave and setting the timer to what is recommended on the instructions on the bag. Also be sure to put the bag in with the recommended side facing up.

Gourmet popcorn is just regular popcorn that has been seasoned in unique ways. You can make a batch of regular popcorn and then season with whatever special seasoning you want which might include garlic powder, parmesan cheese, hot taco seasoning, curry powder, or brown sugar and cinnamon (among hundreds of others). In order for dry seasoning to adhere to the popcorn, you'll need to coat the popped corn with butter or spritz it with a butter substitute before seasoning.

there are two ways first is the most civilized that is buying butter tasting powder at the store second is kinda strange but works all the same.take one-fourth of a stick of butter and melt it in the microwave and pour it over all of the popcorn and mix it up. and there you have your buttered popcorn.
If you want to put butter on popcorn, simply do that to the popcorn maize before you start popping them.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:
  • Popping corn
  • Heavy skillet with lid
  • Cooking oil
  • Metal colander
  • Dinner plate lined with two or three sheets of absorbent paper towels
  • Stick of salted butter
  • Saucepan

  1. How to Make Toffee Popcorn
  2. Step 1

    Fill the skillet with about ½ inch of Answers.com oil. Turn on the burner to high and let the skillet heat up until the oil is close to smoking. Reduce heat to medium high.

  3. Step 2

    Add the premeasured amount of popping corn to the skillet. The amount you use depends on the amount of toffee popcorn you want to make and how big a skillet you are using. Avoid having the popping corn piled on top of each other excessively. Two single corn layers are the maximum recommended for this recipe.

  4. Step 3

    Place the lid on top of the skillet and gently shake the skillet to permit the oil to coat each and every corn Answers.com. Replace the skillet onto the burner and wait.

  5. Step 4

    Listen for the first sounds of popping to occur. From here things move rather rapidly and you should not walk away from the stove. Once in a while shake the skillet gently but do not remove it from the burner. When the sounds of popping slow, turn off the burner, remove the skillet and shake it more vigorously. Wait for all sounds of popping to stop completely.

  6. Step 5

    Lift the lid off the skillet, pour the popped corn into the metal colander and place it on the plate with the paper towels.

  7. Step 6

    Place the stick of salted butter into the saucepan and gently heat it on the stove burner over low heat. Do not burn the butter!

  8. Step 7

    Add the ½ cup to ¾ cup of brown sugar and ¼ to ½ cup of light syrup to the melting butter in the saucepan. Gently mix until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has liquefied. You may need to briefly increase the heat to medium. Once all ingredients are well blended your toffee sauce is complete; turn off the burner.

  9. Step 8

    Transfer the popped corn from the colander to the Answers.com. Drizzle the hot toffee mixture over the popcorn and stir simultaneously with the mixing spoon. Continue this process until the popped corn is evenly coated with the toffee.

  10. Step 9

    Serve the toffee popcorn you made in the mixing bowl with plenty of napkins and also some wet wipes on standby. This is a gooey and sticky treat.

One makes caramel popcorn by first popping popcorn in the usual fashion. One then pours caramel syrup over it until the popcorn is coated completely. One may use pre-made caramel syrup or sauce or make one's own.
