1
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure that the pot has a lid.
2
Add Popcorn Kernels
Once the oil is hot, add 1 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover the pot with the lid.
3
Pop the Corn
Shake the pot gently back and forth over the heat to distribute the heat evenly and prevent burning. Continue until the popping slows down, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Add Sugar
As soon as the popping slows down, remove the pot from heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the popcorn. Quickly cover the pot again and shake to mix the sugar evenly.
5
Season with Salt
After the sugar has melted and coated the popcorn, uncover the pot and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss the popcorn to ensure even seasoning.
6
Cool and Serve
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade kettle corn!
