Pop-Corn
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you or some of your Daisy Chain by chance give me the recipe for making "pop-corn," as I would like to try some for the children?
A.

(Greymouth),
Yes, pop-corn can be made of ordinary or sweet corn, Heat a frying-pan, butter it as you would a cake tin, put in the corn and shake over a moderate heat, or low gas, till the grains have all burst, or "popped." Wipe out the pan, and repeat till sufficient corn has been "popped." (Continued on next page)
(Continued from previous page) Now the next thing is to "sugar" it. Put into an iron saucepan one tablespoon of butter; three tablespoons of water; and one cup of white sugar. Boil till ready to candy, then throw in the popped corn and stir briskly till the sugar is well distributed through the kernels. Take off the pan and stir till the syrup cools a little, and each popcorn is sugared. Then shake the popcorn into dry icing sugar, and store in tins.
