- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable or coconut oil)
- ½ cup of white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whirly-pop or 4 quart sauce pan with lid and long handled spoon for stirring
- Baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Place pan or pot on the stove at a medium-high heat, add oil, and just three of the popcorn kernels, and cover. When the kernels pop, the oil is to temperature and ready.
- Add the remaining kernels, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Quickly stir together to coat all the kernels and cover.
- If using a whirly-pop pan, stir as the kernels begin to pop. If using sauce pan, shake the pan frequently as the kernels begin to pop.

- Kettle corn can be poured onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined baking sheet to cool.
What’s a Whirly-Pop Pan? Great for Kettle Corn?
Whirly Pop Pan ($34.65)
The is great for making making plain popcorn or for making kettle corn. The Whirly Pop is a stainless steel pan and detachable lid with patented stirring mechanism and metal gears. For kettle corn you just turn the handle and the stirring mechanism does the work, coating the popcorn evenly and keeping the mixture from burning. You can buy cheaper imitations models. Most people say other versions break often but a Whirly Pop comes with a 25 year warranty. Might be worth the few extra bucks! Here’s the Homemade Cinnamon Vanilla Kettle Corn being made in the Whirly Pop.
