Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 tbsp neutral cooking oil such as canola or vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt adjust to taste
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Warm a large heavy pot over medium heat and add the oil.
- Drop in 2–3 kernels, cover, and wait until they pop.
- Add the remaining kernels and sprinkle in the sugar; stir quickly to coat.
- Cover, reduce heat slightly, and shake the pot often, venting the lid a crack to release steam.
- Keep cooking and shaking until popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops, then remove from heat.
- Immediately spread popcorn on a large sheet pan, sprinkle with salt, and toss. Cool briefly, then break up any clumps.
Notes
Try cinnamon-sugar: dust warm kettle corn with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. For a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne. Store fully cooled kettle corn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For extra richness, drizzle with 1–2 tbsp melted butter right before serving.
