Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup popcorn
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt , scant

Directions:

  1. Note that this recipe's cooking method is for a gas stove. You might have to monkey with the heat a bit on an electric one.
  2. Add all ingredients to the Whirley pop, and pop, using, on average, a medium heat: alternate between a lower flame and a high one. This is in order to send the heat to the outside edges, which is where the popper sends the popcorn!
  3. Be sure to remove from the heat quickly when the popping slows. Empty immediately into a big bowl, and stir around with a big spoon and/or your hands to break apart the kernals. (Careful - it's hot!).
  4. For an easier cleanup, put some water and a squirt of soap immediately into the popper to soak.
  5. After it has cooled thoroughly, keep in an air-tight container to prevent sogginess.
  6. Whirley Pop Notes:.
  7. I actually purchased mine because, try as I might, I just couldn’t make great Kettle Corn in a pot on top of the stove. I tried a number of recipes. They all came out tough, and never fully popped, and the sugar always burned. And I am a pretty patient cook! To make matters worse, the cleanup of burnt sugar on my stainless pots was a significant chore!
  8. So, I bought a Whirley-pop. With all the great reviews on-line, I knew I would come to love it. I was right! It makes great popcorn, all kinds! Bonus is that you can use less oil than cooking in a pot, like only 2 teaspoons per 1/2 cup batch.
  9. So, this recipe is for a Whirley Pop, as I haven't personally had any success in a regular pot. If you don't have one yet, and you make popcorn a lot, I highly recommend one! Although they are mostly a single-use item, they are only about $23. And, personally, I recommend this Kettle Corn recipe over the one in the book.
