- Category: Popcorn
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
Instructions
- Place a sheet pan next to the stove.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and wait for them all to pop.
- When the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn and shake until they are coated in oil. Add sugar and salt; cover the pot.
- Vigorously shake for 3 seconds and let sit for 3 seconds, repeating until the popcorn starts to pop steadily. Continue to shake the pan constantly until the popping slows down to a pop every 1- 2 seconds. Alternatively, stir continuously if you have a popcorn maker with a stirring mechanism (which is worth it).
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately dump the kettle corn out onto a sheet pan. Let it cool and crisp for a few minutes, then taste and add more salt if desired. Discard any unpopped kernels and enjoy.
