Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add 3 popcorn kernels to the oil and wait until they pop, indicating the oil is hot enough.
- Pour in the remaining popcorn kernels and sprinkle the sugar evenly over them. Quickly cover the pot with the lid.
- Shake the pot constantly to prevent burning and ensure even coating. Continue shaking until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for 1 minute to allow any remaining kernels to pop.
- Carefully pour the kettle corn into a large bowl, sprinkle with salt, and toss to combine. Let cool before serving.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
