Homemade Caramel Popcorn, and Avatar

Desmond brought back a popcorn box after he watched the 3D Avatar movie, as he said he wants me to prepare popcorn for him and he can use this Avatar box to put the popcorns. I immediate run to supermarket to buy corn kernels when I saw a homemade caramel recipe, and the result was super good, tasted exactly like those we bought from the cinema.....

- Since this is my 1st time pop the corn kernels (only a small bunch), my kids and I shouted and overwhelmed when I opened the lid and we see popcorns all over the whole wok...Just amazing!!

Recipe adapted from Ohbin, Thanks to Ohbin for kind sharing of this great recipe.
Homemade Caramel Popcorn
(printable recipe)
300g Corn Kernels
6 tbsp corn oil

300g sugar
110g butter
270g water

To pop corn kernels
1. Pour corn oil into a wok/pan, coat entirely the wok.
2. Heat oil over medium flame
3. Add the corn kernels, stir fry to mix well till corn kernels start to expand and pop
4. Cover the wok, slowly move the pan to keep the popcorn from burning in spots.
5. When the popping slows down to the point that you don’t hear much pop, off the flame.
6. Take off the lid, and pour popcorn into large bowl., remove unpopped kernels.
7. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and set aside.

To make caramel popcorn1. Add sugar in a clean wok/saucepan over medium flame, cook till melted and become syrup.
2. Add in butter and water, keep stirring till become thick caramel (put a drop of caramel into a bowl of water and when it is not immediate dissolved , then the caramel is ready)
3. Let the syrup cool slightly, then drizzle over the popcorn. Toss the popcorn carefully using spoons.
4. Bake at preheated oven at 150c for 20-30mins, stir from time to time.
5. Store popcorn in airtight containers.

my note- Do not over drizzle the caramel over the popcorn, otherwise the excess caramel will stick to your teeth when you eating them..no fun lo....

Jane Chew said...

Colin Woon said...

Amazing Sonia!!! I love caramel popcorn.

Quinn said...

Sonia, so did you drizzle all the caramel over or just half of them? But I like my popcorn salty instead of sweet...Aaron likes it sweet. Can make for him.

Love2cook Malaysia said...

Oh Sonia, I love those caramel popcorns!!! Pass me an Avatar pls! hehehe ;)

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Anncoo,ya, lovely box.

Jane, put into microwave oven, sound easy!

Colin, ask Faye to cook for you.

Quinn, I got 3 trays, the 1st two tray over drizzle, the 3rd one just perfect, but sorry I did not measure the weight, you need to adjust accordingly to suit your taste.

LOVE2COOK, quickly do this at home for your kids, they will like it.

Kitchen Corner said...

Making homemade popcorn must be very fun. I should experience it one day!

Blessed Homemaker said...

This looks delicious! But I prefer the salty version over the caramel ones, like you said, too much caramel will stick to your teeth.

Happy Homebaker said...

We have tried making popcorn at home too, it was fun! Like your kids, mine was so impressed when we removed the lid ;D

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Kitchen corner, yes, really fun, quickly try out.

Blessed homemaker, my kids love caramel version..

WendyinKK said...

Wow!!!
The last time I made popcorn was 18 years ago during my teens. I made it without a recipe, but just by watching the popcorn vendor doing it. My adapted method burnt the butter and sugar!!!

Thanks for sharing this, now I no longer have to burn my butter and sugar.

Oh, I definitely want to try this. They charge so much for the "specialty" popcorns. Plus sometimes it's too sweet. Making my own sounds like the answer, thanks for sharing this.
