Recipes
Toffee Popcorn
Once you have some nice fresh popcorn, it is ready for the addition of
toffee sauce. This is incredibly easy to make. The exact quantities are
not important. It will turn out as sweet sticky goo whatever you do.
Method
•Put a chunk (about 50g) of butter in a pan.
•Add about 4 heaped tablespoons of soft brown sugar (demerera or
turbinado is best). Do not use white sugar or it will be spoilt.
•Add 2-3 tablespoons of golden syrup. To stop the syrup from sticking
to the spoon, heat the spoon over a flame for a couple of seconds first.
It works wonders. An alternative method of spoon-heating is to pour
the water of a freshly boiled kettle onto the spoon, while keeping your
hands protected by the likes of an oven mit. If you haven’t any golden
syrup then don’t despair. As a last resort there is treacle, but it doesn’t
really work. In the unlikely event that you haven’t got any treacle or
golden syrup, then you could experiment with maple syrup. This is less
viscous so less sugar should be used with maple syrup.
•Stir together at a medium heat until the butter is completely melted,
and all the sugar has dissolved.
•Now you have made the popcorn and the toffee sauce, you need to
put them together. This must be done while the sauce is still hot.
•Put the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
•Drizzle the toffee sauce over the top.
•Stir some more.
•Stop stirring if the sauce has now cooled to a degree where it is no
longer runny and is setting, if not go back to stage three.

•Leave until it is cool enough to eat. (This fortunately is only a few
minutes).
•Stirring is very important. If the stirring is not done for long enough then
the toffee sauce tends to form a sticky layer at the base of the bowl. In
some ways, this can be a good thing, providing you with a lovely gooey
dip for your popcorn. By changing the quantities of syrup and sugar,
the sauce can be made more sticky or more runny. You should perform
experiments to find your preferred viscosity.
