INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FILLING

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; mix well. Pour into 18 greased or paper-lined muffin cups.

For filling, beat cream cheese and sugar in another mixing bowl. Add egg and salt; mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls into center of each cupcake. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25- 30 minutes. Cool completely and then place in refrigerator to chill.

FONDANT FROSTING

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
• 2 pounds confectioner’s sugar

DIRECTIONS

1.  In a large bowl stir together the shortening and corn syrup. Mix in the salt and vanilla flavoring, then gradually mix in the confectioner’s sugar until it is a stiff dough. If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment, otherwise knead by hand. If the dough is sticky, knead in more confectioner’s sugar until it is smooth. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

2.  To use, roll out on a clean surface that has been dusted with confectioner’s sugar until it is 1/8 inch thick. Cut strips for your ribbons and create squares for your presents. The bow was created using a tiny part of a cookie cutter. Place the presents on the chilled cupcakes and add gold beads around the presents. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Perfect Popcorn Recipe

I love fresh popcorn and here is the best way of making it!

Perfect Popcorn

139| Posted by Elise 

• Cook time: 10 minutes
• Yield: Makes 2 quarts, a nice amount for two people, or for one hungry one.

Save Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp canola, peanut or grapeseed oil (high smoke point oil)
• 1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels
• 1 3-quart covered saucepan
• 2 Tbsp or more (to taste) of butter
• Salt to taste

Method

1 Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium high heat.

2 Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan.

3 When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. (Count out loud; it's fun to do with kids.) 

This method first heats the oil to the right temperature, then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping temperature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.

4 Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper). Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.

With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop (I counted 4 unpopped kernels in my last batch), and nothing burns.

5 If you are adding butter, you can easily melt it by placing the butter in the now empty, but hot pan.

6 Salt to taste.

Additional tips: From the comments section

a If you add salt to the oil in the pan before popping, when the popcorn pops, the salt will be well distributed throughout the popcorn.

b Fun toppings for the popcorn - Spanish smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, cayenne powder, chili pepper, curry powder, cumin, grated Parmesan cheese.
