Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unpopped popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure you have a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid ready.
Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Drop 2-3 popcorn kernels into the pot; once they pop, the oil is at the right temperature.
Quickly add the 0.5 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels to the pot and sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over them.
Cover the pot with the lid, leaving a small crack to let steam escape.
Shake the pot gently yet constantly over the burner to keep the sugar from burning and to ensure even popcorn cooking.
When the popping slows to about 1 pop every few seconds, remove the pot from the heat.
Immediately transfer the kettle corn to a large bowl to prevent further cooking and burning.
Sprinkle the 0.5 teaspoon of salt over the warm popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
Allow the kettle corn to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and salty!
