Start off with 1/4 cup clear or yellow high smoke point oil. I prefer peanut, the flavor is outstanding. Toss that in the pot WITH 1/3 cup sugar and stir them until the sugar STARTS to melt. Turn on your heat to medium high and add your kernels. Once the popping starts, listen to the speed of popping, when it reaches a high popping rate, lift your pot a few (2-3) inches from the heat for 3 seconds while shaking and return to the heat for 15 seconds and off for 3 then back on again. Repeat this lift and set pattern until popping shoes to 1/4 of its highest speed, turn the heat off and continue shaking the pot on the burner until popping stops. Your popcorn should have a white color with a very light yellow coating. If it has any browning, it's scorched. Starting with hot oil in a small batch will scorch the sugar. It works better in a kettle batch, but not for a pot. If your sugar turns yellow before popping starts (indicative that your heat was too high), turn the heat down a little and toss in a pat of butter and 1/4 cup warm heavy cream (be whisking as you add this to prevent spatterr and whisk until the corn starts to pop. (the color should be a rich, but light tan) This will turn into caramel and coat your popcorn quite well. The finished product should come out the color of a caramel chew.
@@ICookAndPaint no prob. It's a trial and error thing, practice makes better. Use your spidey sense and you should have sweet delishness on command. Edit: the first time I did the caramel I burned the hell out of it. Had to work it a few tries to get it right.
@@ICookAndPaint I was wrong. It can also be to much sugar. Also if you want to make it easier. A $49 whirly pop is worth it too not have you shake it . Also thx for the video Cheers
You burned it. You don't need to take the first popped popcorn out. Needs more oil, thats why it burned. And you add salt at the end after you take it out.
I love the way this looks, that's exactly how I like it.
Thanks! It really was delicious :)

How much popcorn is a kettle batch? This sounds really good and I'd like to try it
That's burnt.

@@Raees_10 yeah it's burnt
@@Raees_10 it pretty darn burnt
@@Raees_10 I make it daily definitely burnt same method too, sugar got way to hot
Definitely 💀
This dude gets on my NERVES!
Butter in place of oil makes for a better taste but you have to watch the heat. Nothing better than caramel corn! Thanks bro. 👍❤️
I love this tip, thanks so much for your kind comment :)
Worked good for me 👍
Awesome!
Give this man an Oscar! That sugar is SO burnt! The recipe is 🔥 but why didn't you just remake it?
Burnt corn nuggets?
The heroin of the farmers market
You should wait to put the sugar in till after the kernels. I think your sugars burning and coloring the popcorn.
Next time I will :)
