Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 3 to 4 popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
Step 2
Once the test kernels pop, the oil is at the right temperature. Remove the test kernels with a spoon.
Step 3
Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot, sprinkle the granulated sugar over them evenly, and cover with the lid.
Step 4
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 5
Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 6
Immediately drizzle the honey over the popcorn, then sprinkle with salt.
Step 7
Carefully stir the popcorn with a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon to ensure the honey coats the popcorn evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl or baking sheet to cool slightly before serving.
