Hunker Down Popcorn Recipes

HUNKER DOWN POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°. Pam spray a big roasting pan. Popcorn in air popper (enough kernels to make 18 cups popped corn). Put popped corn in pan and keep warm in 300° oven. In glass measuring cup, microwave butter until melted (or melt in saucepan on stove). Stir in corn syrup, vanilla, and pudding mix with a fork. Pour syrup over popcorn and toss with wooden spoon. Sprinkle salt over corn. Toss; taste; sprinkle. Do it again until it says, "Hello!" Return to 300° oven for 8 minutes. Toss. Return to 300° oven for 8 minutes. Toss again. Determine if it needs another few minutes to make it glossy. Toss. Taste. (My oven dictates another 8 minutes, but all ovens are different. Use your infallible good taste.) Turn out on large pieces of foil to cool. Break into bits. Store leftovers (if any) in covered tin box.

DADDY'S POPCORN

Steps:

• Start by cutting a paper grocery sack in half. This will serve as a makeshift serving bowl and it will absorb excess oil.
• In a 2 quart pot, combine the oil, margarine and popcorn. Set over high heat, and constantly shake the pan back and forth. After the first kernel of corn pops, place the lid on the pot, and continue shaking. When the popcorn starts to lift the lid up off the pan, remove it from the heat, and hold it over the paper bag until it stops popping.
• Pour into the paper sack and season with half of the seasoned salt. Shake the paper sack to distribute the salt. Taste before adding more so you don't make it too salty. You can always add more salt.

HUNKER DOWN POPCORN
