Directions

1. 1

   Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium sized pot so that the bottom is slightly covered. Add 50 g corn grains, close the lid. Place the pot on the hotplate and heat it up very much.

2. 2

   As soon as the first corn kernels start to pop up, reduce to medium heat. When only a few corn kernels are still audible, remove the pot from the heat, let it rest for a moment with the lid closed.

3. 3

   Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Repeat the process with the remaining oil and popcorn.

4. 4

   Put sugar and syrup in a high pot. Heat over a low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved as much as possible. Place the sugar thermometer in the pot, heat to approx. 150 °C without stirring.

5. 5

   Remove the pot from the stove, remove the thermometer, add the baking powder while stirring immediately.

6. 6

   Pour very quickly onto the popcorn, fold in quickly. Spread the popcorn as flat as possible on a baking tray lined with baking paper, sprinkle with salt and allow to cool. Store in an airtight and dry place.
