Hi and welcome to Steve's kitchen today's popcorn has been a bit of an adventure
for me you may have seen the previous video
where I show the experimental, the thought process that got this salt and
vinegar flavoring
you can't just put vinegar on to popcorn it gets soggy
and unpleasant, so I've come up with a flavoring or seasoning
that I think is pretty good and close to what you get
on commercial types of popcorn so let me show you now
how we make the seasoning first and then the popcorn
now the powder I'm using here is a maltodextrin I
find it quite hard to say this is a powder that is a little bit sweet
little bit like glucose but a lot less sweeter and you can find it often health
food stores definitely
in homebrew stores now come down here because
I'm going to add a couple tablespoons of malto dextrous
into a grinder you could do this with a mortar and pestle
that would be also fine a little extra work the next
items going to trick us into thinking there's vinegar in this and what it is
is citric acid now you can also buy this in most bake stores come down here
I'm going to add about a tablespoon of citric acid
in with our sweetener and the last thing is a regular old table salt just a
tablespoon of that in there as well
now using this coffee grinder I'm just going to blend this together and get a
fine white powder
and there you have it we have got our salt
and vinegar powder this stuff is absolutely delicious and perfect
now I would store it in little jar we're not going to to use all this today I made a little
bit extra in case you want to use it at a later date
So you see how simple that is I think that's worth a thumbs up
just for that that is a fantastic powder now making the popcorn is even easier
just come down here
regular sandwich bag from a supermarket
and a third of a cup of popping corn we are just going to
fold the top over twice seal it across like that
that pops into the microwave for two and a half minutes to 3 minutes wait till
the popping stops then take it out now when the popcorn comes out the microwave
like that just whilst it's still hot
get all that lovely freshly popped corn
into a tupperware you do need a lid on it
like this now I'm going to take a dessert spoon
of slightly salted butter pop it in there with the hot popcorn
pop the lid on and give this a shake, now the reason I'm adding the butter in there is
because we tried this it does coat nicely without the butter but it
tastes a little bit dry trust me the butter is needed
now it takes a little while so keep shaking until it's completely coated
but then come down here we've got our butter coated popcorn
here we can add our salt and vinegar powder now I'm going to go with 2 teaspoons
and you can experiment all you like with the levels of the flavoring
pop the lid on again and get shaking
lets just uncover that
now you're getting the right balance not too much butter on there
and the right amount of seasoning lets give this a try, so
there you have a really great replica
of salt and vinegar popcorn I think this is absolutely great you can experiment with
the salt
with the seasoning mixtures if you like it a little more salty
the butter levels I think are about right, a tablespoon of butter into this
but again you can play with it as you like comment down below
let me know how you get on with your salt and vinegar popcorn I hope you've enjoyed the video
take care I'll see you next time now I have tinkered with this
each time I've made it and it does come out a little bit different so play with
it as I say
I'm going to leave links up here to the full popcorn series
I hope you've enjoyed it and a link to another video comment down below
take care I'll see you in the next video
be good
