Popcorn
I make this all the time but when I realized I've developed a specific method that works well I decided to write it down.
Total Preparation Time
Total preparation time is < 10min
- Gathering ingredients - 2min
- Popping corn - 10min
Ingredients
- Popcorn - 1/2 cup
- Flavicol or salt - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
- Powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon (15ml)
- Oil - 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml)
Method
- Get the biggest pot and put it on a burner at the highest setting
- Add the oil and three kernels
- Collect the other ingredients
- When the three kernels pop, turn off the heat, add the rest of the kernels, and wait 30sec
- Put the pot back on the burner at nearly max heat
- Tuck an oven mitt under the lid to make a gap large enough to let out steam but not kernels
- Shake until all the kernels pop
- Take it off the heat, wipe down the lid and sides of the pot with a rag to soak up the condensation
- Add the salt and sugar
- Shake for a while as the sugar and salt melt and coat the kernels
- Pour into a bowl.
