Kettle Corn in a Whirley Pop Recipe
150kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
Equipment
- Whirley Pop stovetop popcorn maker
- Stove or heat source
- Large heatproof bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon or spatula (for tossing, optional)
Method
- Preheat Whirley Pop: Place the Whirley Pop on medium heat. Ensure the lid is closed and the crank moves smoothly.
- Add Ingredients: Pour in the oil, popcorn kernels, and sugar. Close the lid securely.
- Start Cranking: Turn the crank continuously to keep the sugar moving and prevent burning.
- Pop the Corn: Listen for rapid popping (about 2–3 minutes). Continue cranking until popping slows to 1–2 seconds between pops.
- Remove and Season: Take the Whirley Pop off heat, pour the popcorn into a large bowl, and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Toss gently.
- Cool and Serve: Let the kettle corn cool slightly so the sugar coating sets, then enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Always crank continuously to prevent burnt sugar.
- Use medium heat—too high will scorch the sugar.
- Stick to the recommended ½ cup kernels for best popping results.
- Experiment with flavor variations like cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate for a fun twist.
