Ingredients
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) high-quality popcorn kernels
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable or coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn Kernels: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the popcorn kernels, sugar, and oil. Gently stir to ensure the kernels are evenly coated.
- Heat the Pot: Place the pot over medium-high heat and cover with a lid. Keep a close eye on the pot, gently shaking or stirring occasionally, to prevent burning. The kernels will begin to pop within a minute or two.
- Listen for the Popping to Slow: Once the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Continue to gently shake the pot to prevent burning.
- Add the Salt: Immediately sprinkle the sea salt over the freshly popped kettle corn and toss to distribute evenly. The heat from the freshly popped corn will help the salt adhere.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the hot, freshly popped kettle corn to a large serving bowl or paper bags. Savor the delightful crunch and irresistible sweet-and-salty flavor!
