POPCORN

Popcorn was first discovered thousands of years ago by the Native Americans. The oldest forms of corn, evidence of popcorn from 3600 B.C. was found in New Mexico.

Corn is able to pop because, unlike other grains, its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling. This allows pressure to build inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results. Some strains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns.

There is even a crochetstitch named after popcorn: popcornstitch!

This is how you make plain popcorn:
1 tbsp oil

200 gr popcorn kernels

Put oil in a large pan with a thick bottom. Scatter the corn popcorn there and put the lid on the pan.

Heat the pan to medium heat. The corn will now pop.
Don't turn the heat no too high, otherwise it will burn the corn.
Turn the heat off when it stops popping.

SALTY POPCORN: Sprinkle salt over the popcorn.

SWEET POPCORN: Put a spoonful of butter in a heavy saucepan or wok. Few tablespoons powdered sugar on top and add the popcorn. Continue stirring until the popcorn has a light brown layer.

HONEY POPCORN: Pour 1 tbsp. thin honey over hot popcorn, shake it a couple of times and let it cool.

COLOURED POPCORN: 1 cup sugar, popcorn made with 1/2 cup corn, 20 gr. butter, 1/3 cup water, 6 drops of foodcolouring. Stir sugar, butter and water in a heavy saucepan to sugar is dissolved.
