Method

  1. Measure the Ingredients:

    • 100 g Popcorn kernels
    • 2 tbsp Neutral oil
    • 2½ tbsp, or 2 tbsp for less sweet Caster sugar
    • Tiny pinch Salt
  2. Prepare:

    • Use a large saucepan with a lid
    • Add oil and 3 test kernels to the pan
    • Heat on medium induction, around 5-6 out of 9
  3. Cook:

    • Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining kernels
    • Put the lid on and shake the pan every few seconds
  4. Combine:

    • When popping slows to 1 pop every 2-3 secs, remove from heat
    • Leave lid on for 20 secs in case a few more pop
    • Tip into a large bowl immediately
  5. Finish:

    • Sprinkle over caster sugar and a tiny pinch of salt while hot
    • Toss hard for 20-30 secs so the sugar coats the popcorn
