2 1/2 cups water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups water
Where to find ingredients
You can find popcorn kernels and granulated sugar in the baking or dry goods aisles of any local supermarket in Barbados. Use a neutral vegetable oil, such as sunflower or canola, found in the cooking oil section.
Preparation method
- Combine the popcorn kernels, oil, granulated sugar, and water in a large heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
- Stir continuously to ensure every kernel is thoroughly coated in the syrup and receives even heat distribution.
- Keep stirring until the kernels begin to pop and continue until the popping sound slows significantly.
- Remove from heat immediately once the popping ceases to prevent the caramel from burning.
- Spread the popcorn onto a cool surface or large tray and let it sit until completely cooled and crispy.
