How do you get sugar to stick to popcorn? ›

Put a layer of popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the popcorn with sugar and bake it for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and covered the popcorn. Drizzle maple syrup or honey over popped popcorn and sprinkle brown sugar.

Once most of the kernels have popped, add granulated white sugar to the pan and shake well to mix it. Turn off the stove, and dump the popcorn into a bowl after it's been coated evenly with sugar. Try using brown sugar instead of white sugar for a nuttier taste.

Melt sugar in large pot on low over stove, stirring so a brown liquid forms. Then add in popped corn and stir so all sides of each puff get coated. While the sugar is still hot, sprinkle salt on top of the popcorn so it gets stuck in the sugar.

The seasonings stick best with added oil or butter, but spritzing the popcorn with water works almost as well for oil-free popcorn. Our favorite simply seasoned popcorn recipe uses a little melted butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, dried oregano and garlic salt.

Place a single scoop of kernels in the machine using the measuring cup supplied. Then listen for the first kernels to start popping! You can add flavour during cooking, if you wish, by drizzling salt, sugar or melted butter through the top.

Kettle corn is a sweet variety of popcorn that is typically mixed or seasoned with a light-colored refined sugar, salt, and oil. It was traditionally made in cast iron kettles, hence the name, but in modern times other types of pots and pans are used.

Popcorn has few calories and is high in fiber, which can make it a suitable snack for people with diabetes. However, adding butter, sugar, and other toppings may mean it is no longer a healthy choice.

No popcorn is complete without the taste of butter. Also, keep in mind that a little Flavacol goes a long way. You can always add more if you think you need it. My personal trick is to mix two tablespoons of whatever oil I have with one teaspoon of Flavacol in a pot over medium heat on the stove.

A good lid is important when making popcorn, but there's a bit of a strategy here. For the best results, and lowest number of un-popped kernels leave the lid open just a hairline amount. It allows any steam or moisture to get out as well, resulting in fluffy kernels.

How do you season already popped popcorn? ›

As soon as the popcorn is finished, transfer to a large bowl and immediately drizzle extra virgin olive oil on it while the popcorn is still hot, and then follow with a big dash of salt and seasoning. The oil will lightly coat the popcorn and give the seasonings something to cling to.

Is Eating Popcorn Safe for Dogs? Yes and no. Plain, air-popped popcorn is safe for dogs to eat in small quantities. Buttered popcorn or popcorn with other toppings is not safe for your dog on a regular basis, although eating a few dropped pieces here and there probably won't hurt them.

Air-popped popcorn will not hold dry seasonings. If you mix your seasonings into water or vinegar and spray it from a fine sprayer onto your air-popped corn, that's the way to avoid oil and still get the seasonings to stick.

Some popular flavors include butter, salt, cheese, and caramel. Use a dry rub. If you don't want to use a pre-made seasoning mix, you can make your own dry rub. Simply mix together your favorite spices and herbs, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Movie theaters use butter-flavored oil, which has a lower water content than butter so it makes popcorn less soggy. Real clarified butter has the same effect. To make it, melt 2 sticks butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Let sit for a few minutes; the butter will separate into 3 layers.

You melt the butter or oil first, then add seasonings, then the popcorn. Swirl the popcorn around to coat all the kernels before they pop.

Air-popped popcorn has a GI value around 55 to 65, depending on type and preparation method. The presence of whole grains and fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in a more controlled increase in blood sugar levels.

Use melted butter or oil: Before adding the popcorn seasoning, toss the popcorn with melted butter or oil. Canola, sunflower or olive oil works well. This will help the seasoning adhere to the popcorn. Shake the popcorn: Place the popcorn in a large paper or plastic bag, add the seasoning and shake the bag vigorously.
