Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 0.7 cup raw popcorn kernels
  • 0.3 cup oil
  • 0.3 cup sugar
  • 0.3 tsp salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place oil and popcorn in a large skillet with a tight fitting lid. Kernels should barely cover the bottom surface.

  2. 2

    Heat over medium until the first kernel starts to pop. Quickly stir in the sugar until dissolved.

  3. 3

    Cover and continuously shake the skillet while holding the top — this burns faster than regular popcorn.

  4. 4

    When popping stops, remove from heat. Spoon into a bowl while shaking occasionally to let unpopped kernels settle.

  5. 5

    Salt lightly and break up into pieces. Note: may take a little practice.
