Hello, cooking friends! I hope you're all doing well on this beautiful day. I'm off to a wonderful start, full of energy and eager to share a delicious recipe with you. Today I want to tell you how I made some irresistible caramelized popcorn, which has become one of my favorite snacks.

The first time I learned how to make popcorn, I never stopped making it. It's one of my favorite snacks. I remember starting to make it at a very young age, around eight years old. At first, I won't deny it, I would burn all the popcorn, and that disappointed me quite a bit. But I didn't stop trying. Over time, I perfected the technique and learned how to caramelize it, which was a huge accomplishment for me. I also discovered how to make it with butter, and that made me think there are many more varieties of how to prepare popcorn. I'm excited about trying different recipes and combinations. Now, whenever I have a craving, I like to experiment with new flavors and ways to make popcorn. From the classic to the most innovative, there's always something new to learn and enjoy. I can't wait to continue exploring and discovering more ways to enjoy this delicious snack!

(Procedimiento:)(Procedure:)

• Paso nro 1

Cuando empecé a hacer las palomitas, agregué solo un poquito de aceite para ayudar al maíz a que explote. No quise agregarle mucho aceite porque el caramelo lleva mantequilla. Primero, puse a calentar el aceite y luego le agregué el maíz. Removí un poco para que el aceite cubriera el maíz y tapé con una tapa. Al rato, comenzaron a explotar. Bajé la llama un poco y, cuando dejé de escuchar que ya no explotaba, apagué el fuego y dejé las palomitas en la olla para que no se enfriaran.

• Paso nro 1

When I started popping the popcorn, I added just a little bit of oil to help the corn pop. I didn't want to add too much oil because the caramel has butter in it. First, I heated the oil and then added the popcorn. I stirred a little so the oil covered the corn and covered it with a lid. After a while, it started popping. I lowered the heat a bit, and when I couldn't hear any more popping, I turned off the heat and left the popcorn in the pot to keep it from getting cold.

• Paso nro 2

En otra olla, empecé a derretir el azúcar. Poco a poco fui agregando la azúcar y moviendo al mismo tiempo, hasta colocar toda la taza de azúcar. Luego, añadí la mantequilla y seguí removiendo. Cuando ya estaba bien mezclado, llegó el momento de agregar la taza de leche. Continué moviendo hasta que la mezcla espesara. Es importante mover constantemente porque el caramelo ya está dorado, solo falta que espese.

• Paso nro 2

In another saucepan, I began melting the sugar. I gradually added the sugar, stirring at the same time, until I had used the entire cup of sugar. Then, I added the butter and continued stirring. When it was well combined, it was time to add the cup of milk. I continued stirring until the mixture thickened. It's important to stir constantly because the caramel is already golden; it just needs to thicken.

• Paso nro 3

Cuando vi que el caramelo estaba listo, empecé a agregar las palomitas, moviendo para que se incorporaran bien con el caramelo. Esto hay que hacerlo al mismo tiempo antes de que todo se enfríe. Luego, le agregué sal al gusto para resaltar los sabores y dejé reposar por un momento.

• Paso nro 3

When I saw the caramel was ready, I started adding the popcorn, stirring to ensure it was well incorporated into the caramel. This had to be done at the same time before everything cooled. Then, I added salt to taste to enhance the flavors and let it sit for a moment.
