How to make homemade popcorn?
Popcorn is almost everyone’s beautiful memory of childhood. Usually, we buy a little popcorn to eat at the cinema. In fact, popcorn can also be made at home, and the method is relatively simple. It is best to buy special popcorn corn from the supermarket when making popcorn, and prepare an appropriate amount of corn oil and white sugar, then you can start making it.
Ingredients: 2 packs of special popcorn corn for making popcorn (about 55g), an appropriate amount of corn oil, 3 large spoonfuls of white sugar with a little extra (about 45-55g).
Method/Step
1, Put the corn in the pot.
2, Pour in vegetable oil, just enough to cover the corn.
3, Turn on medium heat and sprinkle white sugar evenly after the oil starts to bubble.
4, Prepare the lid and cover it quickly when the first kernel of corn pops in the pot.
5, Adjust the heat to medium and low, shake the pot a few times after 10-20 seconds of cooking, so that the corn inside the pot is heated evenly. Then put the pot back on the stove and shake it a few times after a while. If you feel the pot is too hot at this time, you can change to the lowest heat. Do not open the lid at any cost!
6, Shake the pot away from the flame a few times from time to time, and when the sound of corn popping in the pot becomes less and less, and there is no sound at all, turn off the heat.
7, Quickly pour the popcorn onto a colander or drying net, and cool it thoroughly.
8, For those not ready to eat immediately, they can be placed in a sealed box, sealed, and stored at room temperature.
Early warning
1, Add sugar when the first kernel of popcorn pops, personally I feel my speed is not fast enough, and before the sugar is added, the popcorns are bursting into a big explosion, and my little hand got a burn. So I add sugar first! Specific methods and precautions are detailed at the end.
2, Choose a lightweight pot, and the lid is best to be glass for easy viewing. The first pot was too heavy, and when I shook the pot, the lid accidentally opened a crack, and a kernel of corn popped out, and the second blister on my hand was born! So don’t trust your paws too much.
3, Do not idolize butter; animal fats can be consumed in moderation, but not excessively. Popcorn with caramelized oil is just as delicious!
