1
Place a large Dutch oven (make sure you have a lid) over medium high heat on your stove top.
-
2
Add oil and allow to heat for about 1 minute.
-
3
Place 2-3 kernels into the pot and wait until they pop (yes, they will probably pop out of the pot).
-
4
Add the remaining kernels and place lid on pot.
-
5
Wait until you hear a few other kernels pop, then with oven mitts pick up pot and shake.
-
6
Continue to shake for about 30 seconds every minute of cooking (place back on the burner for the remainder of the time).
-
7
After the first minute, carefully lift one side of the lid and sprinkle in the sugar.
-
8
Replace the lid and continue cooking and shaking (yes it is a good shoulder and bicep workout) for about 4-5 minutes, until the span of time between pops lengthens to about 5 seconds.
-
9
Remove from heat.
-
10
Wait until all popping has finished, then remove the lid.
-
11
Sprinkle lightly with salt (to taste), then mix and place into a large serving bowl or individual serving bowls.
-
12
Now close your eyes and picture the Ferris wheel.
-
13
Unless it makes you sick.
-
14
Then just picture something else.
