Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: Makes 12 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
  • 1/2  cup  unpopped popcorn kernels
  • 1/4  cup  sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt

Preparation

Place first 3 ingredients in a hand-cranked popcorn popper.

Cook popcorn kernel mixture over medium-high heat, rapidly turning hand crank. Once kernels begin to pop, reduce heat to low, and continue cranking until popping stops.

Place popcorn in a large bowl, and sprinkle with salt.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used a Whirley-Pop Popcorn Popper.
