CHAPTER XIV

POPCORN CANDIES

How to Pop Corn

Put about half a cup of corn in popper, and shake over a moderate fire until kernels begin to pop. If gas is used, turn it very low, that corn may become uniformly heated through. Shake rapidly as soon as kernels begin to pop, and remove from fire before they begin to burn.

Half a cup of popcorn should yield one and one half quarts popped corn. For salted popped corn, sprinkle generously with salt.

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 quarts popped corn
  • Salt

Melt butter in large saucepan, add corn, and stir until every kernel is coated. Sprinkle with salt and serve at once.
