How to Make Popcorn Balls
Ingredients
- 1 cupful molasses
- 1/4 teaspoonful baking soda
- 1 cupful corn sirup or sugar
- 1/2 teaspoonful salt
Directions
Mix the molasses and syrup or sugar and cook them to the crack stage. Then add the soda and salt and pour the mixture over popped corn,--about six quarts. Stir the corn while pouring the syrup. Let the sweetened corn stand a few minutes. Then dip the hands into cold water, shake off the water, and with the two hands press some corn into a ball. Repeat until all the corn is shaped into balls.
