INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 cups sugar

- ½ cup golden syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda\bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place a Le Creuset Signature Round Casserole with some oil over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and mix to coat them in oil. Continue mixing until the first kernel pops.
