4-12-05 French Toast on Sunday Morning

Granted that it is two days later, but there is nothing like making French Toast late on a Sunday Morning! I love to cook! Maybe because it is creative to an extent and also because everyone needs to eat! I make just about everything except bread which is a project that I will be working to learn with my Nana. Lately I was on a caramel popcorn kick for about 3 batches. Ü Here is the recipe:
Carmel Corn
8 cups popped popcorn
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 Tbsp Margarine or butter
3 Tbsp Corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp vanilla
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Pop the popcorn and place in a large bowl. Be sure to remove all unpopped kernals.
In a saucepan, melt brown sugar,butter, corn syrup, and salt, stirring occaisionally. When mixture starts to boil, stop stirring and lower heat. Let boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn and mix well. Spread mixture onto a cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and stir. Put in oven and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Remove from oven. Let stand about 1 minute and then break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

You will find it difficult to save some for later!
