Рецепт Circus Popcorn
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup fat free half and half
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet Duncan Hines Frosting Flavor Creations, any flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Pop the corn in any way you prefer. I used the air popper and measured 1/2 cup of unpopped corn for each batch. The recipe on Cravings of a Lunatic calls for 12 cups. If you use microwave popcorn, go with the light so you don't have so much salt and omit the salt from the syrup. I put my popped corn in the largest tupperware bowl I had (the large Thatsabowl). Set the popcorn aside and make your syrup.Combine half and half,sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy bottom saucepan. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and cook until soft ball stage. I use a candy thermometer for this however you can do the water test by drizzling some of the syrup into a small amount of cold water and if it will form a soft ball you are good to go. I personally like the candy thermometer since its easier to get it right.Once your syrup reaches the soft ball stage, immediately remove from the heat. Add your vanilla and the entire contents of the flavoring packet. I then used a hand whisk to whisk the powdered flavoring in well. Pour hot syrup over popcorn and mix well. Turn out onto large cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and let cool until it hardens.Store in airtight container-ziploc bags work perfectly!Note: If you find your popcorn is too sticky, it is likely you did not cook the syrup long enough. Don't worry! You can still save the recipe. Just pop the cookie sheet into a 300 degree oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes stirring often. If you see the syrup start to bubble on the popcorn when in the oven, take it out immediately otherwise it can burn. Good luck and enjoy!Prep and cook time are approximate. Please use candy thermometer for your syrup or have experience with gauging the soft ball stage with the water test. Do not use the cook time listed below as a definite.
