oh sorry you caught me having a little
snack on some popcorn I'm not just any
old popcorn either caramel popcorn and
loads of you asked me how I met my
caramel popcorn off to my rocky road
video popper leads ago so why don't we
go upstairs and I'll show you how I did
it in order to make perfect caramel
popcorn you're going to need to start
with some perfect popcorn so I'm going
to show you how I make mine I do mine in
a saucepan you can use a microwave if
you like but I've never used one so I'm
not about to start now
into my sauce pan I'm going to put a
tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of
oil just vegetable oil or ground nut oil
anything without a flavor and the oil
needs to be nice and hot before I put
the popcorn in so I'm going to put that
on to a medium heat and wait for the
butter to start bubbling
okay that's nice and hot now so it's
time to put the popcorn in I've got 90
grams here and I'm just going to give it
a good stir to make sure all the kernels
are coated with that oil and once you
finish stirring you just need to pop the
lid on drop the heat down to a low heat
and then wait for it stop popping once
it's popping away nicely you need to
make sure that you don't let it catch so
to keep that oil and popcorn moving just
give it a shake every now and then so
when the popping slows down and
eventually stop
that means you pop all your kernels so
just turn off the heat and pop it in a
bowl and like my popcorns in the bowl
I'm going to add a teaspoon of salt now
that my popcorn is ready I'm just going
to pop it to one side and get on with
making my caramel now when making
caramel a really good tip is to have
everything ready at the beginning
because you don't want to be hesitating
this stuff gets really really hot and
also it sets really quickly so you want
to be able to work fast you don't have
to be measuring things halfway through
so I have got in my bowl here 210 grams
of caster sugar 100 millilitres of water
and a tablespoon of butter I've also got
a heatproof spatula and a baking tin
which is lined with baking parchment so
I can spread my popcorn out on it
afterwards and I'm going to start by
putting my sugar in the pan
followed by 100 milliliters of water now
don't stir it but you can shuffle it
around to settle and then I'm just going
to turn it on to a medium to low heat
and wait to start bubbling away
all right it's starting to color now and
you need to give a very close honor
there's a point for close once it
reaches a really even deep amber color
it's ready to have the butter put in and
a heat turned off
so there's that lovely rich amber color
I'm looking for so now it's time to add
the butter so pop it in it's going to
fit up quite a bit but just keep on
stirring until all the bubbles subside
once it's lovely and liquidy and smooth
you just need to pour all over your
popcorn and then give it a really good
stir
as soon as your popcorns coated you need
to work quite quickly and just transfer
all of that to that baking tray and
spread it out a little bit
once your pop guns had a few minutes to
cool down it's ready to put in a bowl so
that was my recipe for perfect caramel
popcorn too easy not to give it a go so
