How to Make Homemade Sweet and Salty Popcorn

Hello everybody! Today I decided to share with you a very simple recipe of homemade sweet and salty popcorn. If you are someone who like to watch a movie with a bowl of freshly made warm popcorn on a Friday night you will like this recipe! It will take only a few minutes to make but I can't express with words how much pleasure you will get from it.

Here is everything you will need to make it:

• popcorn seeds 80 grams 
• any kind of vegetable oil (I am using sunflower oil 1 full tablespoon)
• salt (to your taste, I'm using about 1/2 teaspoon of salt)
• granulated sugar (50 grams)
• vanilla (a pinch; I'm using the powder version.You can even not put vanilla at all if you don't want for some reason. )
• 1 tablespoon of water 

From this amount of ingredients  you will get a medium-sized bowl of popcorn. If you want more you can double the ingredients.

Now let's make the popcorn!

• Take a medium-size pot with a lid and put it on the high heat. Wait 1-2 minutes until the pot heats up properly. When the pot heats up enough drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil. After waiting for a few seconds add the popcorn seeds and immediately close the lid. You should always put the stove on the high heat because the seeds need a very high temperature to open up.

•  After a few seconds you will hear the seeds jump up. Wait until you don't hear the popcorn seeds hop up. Then turn off the stove and empty the ready popcorns into a bowl. 

• Add the salt and give it a good stir. I personally like plain popcorn with a little bit of salt. If you are like me you can stop here and enjoy your popcorn. If not the continue and sweeten the popcorn with caramel sauce. 

• Take 50 grams of granulated sugar and 1 full tablespoon of water. Mix them together in an enamelled bowl and put it on the heat. Add a pinch of vanilla and boil. 

• Stir it consistently until it thickens a little bit and has a yellowish color. Pour the caramel sauce into the bowl with popcorn and mix it thoroughly. 

• Your yummy sweet and salty popcorn is ready.

•  I hope you will try this recipe one day. If yes I will be happy to know your opinion about it. I hope you had a nice day! See you soon. Bye!!!
