This is a simple and sweet popcorn recipe from Chef, Thomas Keller (of French Laundry and Per Se fame). He recommends giving little packages out as a party favour. Ingredients:
1 cup popcorn |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup corn syrup |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon salted butter |
Directions:
1. Pop the popcorn.
2. To make the caramel, place the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan (large enough to hold the popcorn) and cook until the caramel turns a light golden brown. Add baking soda and butter to the caramel. Then add the popcorn to the hot caramel and stir with a wooden spoon until the popcorn is evenly coated.
3. Pour the caramelized popcorn onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and set aside to cool. Break up the popcorn with your hands. Serve in colored-cellophane bags.
