What you need:

2/3 cup popcorn
1/4 cup cooking oil <--I just use vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
salt

What to do: (I ramble on a bit with the directions, but bear with me, I was trying to make it sound clear? :))

I use a spaghetti pot that has a lid. Pour in the quarter cup oil and put in one popcorn kernel. Heat on medium heat.

(I measure out the popcorn and the sugar before I start - because it goes pretty quickly.)

Then cover the pot and let the oil heat up. When you hear the one kernel pop, pour in the popcorn kernels and the sugar to follow right away. Stir the kernels, sugar, and oil until the sugar looks a bit transluscent - it might still look a little lumpy, but basically it's looking dissolved for the most part. You have to work quickly because you need the sugar dissolved before the kernels all start popping. It doesn't take long.

When the sugar is looking watery and dissolved (still a bit chunky) just cover the pot with the lid. Slide the pot from side to side on the burner. Don't let the pot sit still. Sounds like a lot of work, but really it goes fast and you'll be done in no time.

You need to listen carefully as the kernels pop. Once the popping slows to almost having pauses, take it off the burner. Don't remove the lid just yet, let it pop a little bit more off the heat (for a few seconds - should just be a kernel here and there). Then pour the entire contents into a big bowl. Salt as much as you desire.

Enjoy!
