Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Combine the popping corn, oil, granulated sugar, and water in a large heavy-bottomed pot or popcorn maker.
- Place the pot over a medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously to ensure every kernel is well-coated in the syrup and to maintain even heat distribution.
- Keep stirring until all the kernels have popped.
- Remove the pot from the heat immediately as soon as the popping sound stops to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Turn the popcorn out onto a cool, flat surface and spread it thinly to allow it to cool down and crisp up.
