Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 or 2 popcorn kernels to the pot. When they pop, it means the oil is hot enough to add the rest of the popcorn.
- Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot and immediately sprinkle the sugar over the kernels.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the kernels to coat them with the sugar and oil.
- Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
- Give the pot a shake every 15 seconds or so to prevent burning.
- Once the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and continue to shake the pot for a few more seconds to ensure that all the kernels have popped.
- Remove the lid and sprinkle the salt over the popcorn, stirring well to coat evenly.
Tips
- Make sure the pot you use has a tight-fitting lid to prevent popcorn from flying out.
- Use a large pot to prevent the popcorn from overflowing.
- Don't leave the pot unattended while the popcorn is popping.
- Be careful when adding the sugar as it can burn quickly.
- Shake the pot frequently to prevent burning.
- Let the popcorn cool for a few minutes before serving.
