Equipment

  • Pot with lid
  • Wooden spoon
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup White sugar
  • ½ cup Popcorn kernels
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in sugar and popcorn kernels.
    ¼ cup White sugar, ¼ cup Vegetable oil, ½ cup Popcorn kernels
  • Put the lid on and shake the pot frequently once hearing the poping (to prevent sugar from burning).
  • After 2-3 seconds (the popping will slow), remove the pot from the heat.
  • Sprinkle the salt on top. Transfer the popcorn into a large bowl and serve.
    ¼ teaspoon Salt

Notes

  • I recommend using a pot that is significantly sizeable. This will give everything room to move and will reduce the risk of burning.
  • Take the popcorn off the heat as soon as the popping slows down. Do not wait for it to completely stop.
