Enjoy a delightful homemade sweet and salty popcorn snack, perfect for movie nights or gatherings.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is evenly spread across the skillet for uniform popping.
Add the popcorn kernels to the skillet and cover with the lid.
Shake the skillet gently to distribute the kernels evenly.
Wait until the first kernel pops, then quickly add the sugar and stir to coat the kernels.
Stir quickly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Cover the skillet again and continue shaking it gently until the popping slows down.
Keep shaking to prevent burning and ensure even popping.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the popcorn to a mixing bowl.
Be cautious of hot steam when removing the lid.
Sprinkle the salt over the popcorn and toss to combine.
Adjust the salt to taste for the perfect balance.
Serve the popcorn in a bowl and enjoy your snack.
Pair with your favorite beverage for a complete snack experience.
