- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn. When the oil sizzles, sprinkle the sugar over the kernels. Cover and shake the pan until the popping slows down, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss with the salt.
