Recipe binder: Toffee Popcorn

As promised in last week's meal planning post, here is how I make toffee popcorn for my other half, as I personally have a very strong dislike of popcorn.

Make popcorn using popcorn kernels:

• Melt some butter in a pan (use one with a lid)
• Add the kernels
• Cover until they pop - wait until the popping has stopped completely before removing the lid!
• Leave to one side and make the toffee coating...

Make toffee sauce/coating (per 75g of un-popped popcorn):

You will need;

40g brown sugar

2-3 tbsp golden syrup

40g butter

• Melt the butter and golden syrup together
• Add the sugar and mix until the sugar is dissolved
• Pour over the popped popcorn, ensuring all the popcorn is coated

This will keep for a long time in an airtight box - the latest batch will be a week on Wednesday and apparently still tastes great!
