Sweet Popcorn
How to make sweet popcorn at home that tastes even better than at the cinema.
Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 4 people
INGREDIENTS
- 80 g popping corn
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar - any variety works fine for this recipe. I usually use dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp oil - if popping the corn of a hob – not needed if you’re using the microwave
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pop your corn using one of the four methods outlined above.
- Once your corn has popped, make the sauce. I like to make mine in a large saucepan so I can tip the popcorn in to coat it in the sauce once it’s ready.
- Put all of the sauce ingredients into a large saucepan over a low heat (2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp golden syrup, 2 tbsp brown sugar). Stir the mixture until the butter and sugar have melted and all ingredients are fully combined.
- Turn off the heat and tip in the popped corn. Stir until the popcorn is coated in the sauce (I often put on a lid and give it a shake to get it all well coated).
- Serve.
NOTES
As the popcorn cools it may stick together. It’s easily broken apart with your hands before serving.
