What's your favorite popcorn topping?

* Exported from MasterCook *

Kettle Corn

Recipe By 😄amsel in dis Dress
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : snacks

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
vegetable oil
popcorn
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
salt -- for sprinkling

In a three-quart saucepan (or "kettle"😉 with a tight-fitting lid, pour
enough oil to cover to a depth of about one-half the size of a popcorn
kernel. Add two "test" kernels of popcorn, and turn heat to medium high.
When the test kernels pop, the oil is hot enough to continue.

Quickly pour in enough popcorn to cover the bottom of the saucepan in an
even layer. Sprinkle the sugar over the unpopped kernels, and place the
lid on the pan. As the corn pops, shake the pan occasionally to assure
that unpopped kernels reach the bottom of the pan. When the lid starts to
lift off the pan and the popping slows or stops, remove pan from heat.

Pour popped corn into a large bowl or several smaller ones. Dust lightly
with salt.

Yield:
"12 cups"

What's your favorite popcorn topping? What do you like to sprinkle? Any
secret reciped for popcorn goodies? (I like to use air-popped corn in
place of rice krispies in the rice krispie treat recipe to make easy
popcorn balls. you can min in nuts or mini-chip to jazz em up.)

Oooh, those sound good! Probably a lot easier than the method I
use (cooking Kayro, sugar, and water to hard ball stage).

I like microwave popcorn with melted real butter, garlic powder,
and chili powder. My grandfather called it "Mexican Popcorn",
and it's been my favorite since childhood.

OMG! Someone suggested Velveeta and butter. I used it a couple of nights
ago. I will never change it. I do not remember who suggested it. It was
either kili or someone else. Gawd, is it good.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound good to me, but I don't
really like Velveeta either. Now, some shredded sharp cheddar,
mmmmmm...

Nor me either. I just can't picture putting something "wet" on popcorn,
the same as putting chili and/or cheese on French fries. I do, however,
like having pieces of cheddar to eat on the side with the popcorn.

Most of the time I'm too lazy to use the popcorn popper or even a pot on
the stove, and opt for microwave popcorn. On that I sprinkle garlic
powder and parmesan cheese, and sometimes chili powder.

I don't top it, usually, except with salt. I pop it on the stove in
either corn or olive oil and salt it. That's it.

Once popped (I use a pan with a little oil), I like to sprinkle my popcorn
with Old Bay seasoning and/or Parmesan cheese. This is just about the only
time I use my Microplane grater on Parmesan --- I like that snowflake-fine
grate when I use it on hot popcorn.

Real butter and salt are my favorite popcorn toppings. When I want a
change, though, Tony Chatcherie's cajun spice is delicious on popcorn.

If you can tolerate the salt in the Velveeta, try it. You won't be
sorry.

Thanks for the thought, but I don't think I could do gooey, either. :-)
I'll stick with my buttered, seasoned popcorn and a chunk of cheddar.

Well, smooch the sis for me. I'm an addict.

You can only imagine what chemicals were the basis of that
inspiration!

LOL!

My favorite popcorn:
Make air-popped popcorn in a large bowl.

While popcorn is popping, place 1/2 stick butter in a small bowl. Press
or mince in 3 cloves of garlic. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave
for 1 1/2 minutes on medium-low (40%) power.

Drizzle melted butter over popcorn.

Top with a little salt, nutritional yeast powder, and grated parmesan
cheese. Add chili powder if you like it spicy.

I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. The vending machines had white
cheddar coated popcorn. Everyone that came to see me after tasting it
was hooked. I have looked in every grocery store I shop, and I can
not find any cheddar topping.

I have found a couple of sited that sell this online but I don't shop
for food online. You never know where it comes from.

I have found cheddar flavored popcorn in the stores but I would like
to find just the topping.

Glad that you survived your visit to the hospital!

As for the p.c. why not just get a hunk of sharp or extra sharp white
cheddar and grate it over the hot kernels? Probably much better tasting
than what is probably chemical powder on the commercial product.

My daughter loves cheese popcorn, so i've taken to buying the cheapest
boxes of macaroni & cheese at the grocery, using the powdered
chemi-cheese on popcorn, and saving the mac for other uses (including
homemade cheese sauce...)

Well, I just googled and found an online purveyor of flavored powders.

http://www.suttonsbaytrading.com/Flavored_Powders/

They have cheddar, white cheddar and blue cheese powders, but they seem
a bit pricey - $4 for 3oz, $8.25/lb for the white cheddar. I haven't
tried any of their products.

All I can say is that I ate a lot of cheese popcorn growing up, and we
made it with air-popped or microwaved popcorn. To season it, we mixed
cheeze powder (bright orange, salty, no particular resemblance to real
cheese) with vegetable oil and then drizzled the cheese oil on the
popcorn while stirring it around in the bowl. White cheddar powder
sounds positively civilized in comparison.
