Bought a bag of popcorn with macadamia nut before and expected to see more macadamia nuts but it turned out to be a disappointment.
Well now with home made, I can add in as much nuts as I like.
To join our movie night, here is my Salted Caramel Popcorn with Macadamia Nuts.
Verdict: Buttery, with a hint of saltishness, crunch. I think this might be the one.
What you need:
70g corn kernel1 tbsp vegetable oil105g light brown sugar (I used raw sugar)75g corn syrup25g honey1 tsp sea salt70g unsalted butter½ tsp baking soda
Method:
Heat wok on medium heat with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
Add in the corn kernel, close the lid. Once you hear no more popping sound. Turn off heat. Pour popcorn into a big bowl. Set aside.In a saucepan, melt light brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, sea salt to 150°C
Add in butter and stir until it has melted. Do not boil.Remove from heat and add in the baking soda.
Stir to combine (it will get foamy)
Pour into popcorn and coat well. Do it in 4 additions to ensure popcorn is well coated.
Place on baking sheet and bake at 170°C for 1 hour. Turning it every 15 mins.
Remove from oven and give it another stir and fold twice every 10 mins. This is to prevent caramel from sinking to the bottom.
Cool and store in airtight container.
Enjoy your long weekend!
