- ⅔ cup popcorn kernels
Instructions

- Pour the oil into your biggest stock pan; make sure you have a lid for it.2 tbsp oil
- Turn the heat to medium and add 2 popcorn kernels to the oil.
- Heat the oil until the two kernels pop.
- Remove the two popped popcorns and pour the remaining kernels into the oil.⅔ cup popcorn kernels
- Place on the lid, shake the pan to distribute the kernels evenly, then remove the pan from the heat and count to 30.
- Return the pan to the heat and heat on medium/high with the lid on.
- Once the popcorn starts to pop, shake the pan well and slide it backward and forwards across the hob.
- Occasionally pull the lid slightly off to allow the steam to escape. Please don't move it off too far, or you will find you get a popcorn shower!
- Keep shaking and sliding until the popping slows to a couple of pops a second, then lift the pan above the heat and shake it again above the heat for 10 seconds.
- Turn off the heat and pour in the melted butter.
- Again give the pan a good shake.
- Tip the popped corn into your container of sugar, clip on the lid and shake to coat all the popcorn in the delicious salty-sweet goodness.
