Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels unpopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Pour a 1/4 cup of vegetable oil into a large pot. Heat to medium.
- Add a couple of popcorn kernels and wait until they pop. This may take up to 5 minutes or so. Once they do, the pot is ready for the rest of the kernels.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels.
- Add the sugar and stir up the mixture. Cover the pot.
- Cook until most of the kernels pop, pausing every 15-30 seconds to lift the pot off the heat and shake it. Keep an eye on the popcorn, as all stoves are different.
- Once the popping slows, carefully remove the lid. Turn off the heat. Stir up the popcorn and then remove from the hot burner.
- Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy!

Notes
- Use a pot with handles or use pot holders to make it easier to shake the popcorn throughout the cooking time
- If the popcorn doesn't seem to be popping, turn up the heat to medium high, just be careful that the sugar doesn't burn
- The best way to know if the popcorn is done is to listen... when the popping slows down significantly, the popcorn is done
