Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Drop in 3–4 popcorn kernels and cover. Once they pop, add the rest of the kernels and shake the pot occasionally.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, stir together sugar and vanilla extract until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
- When popping slows, remove the popcorn from heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the vanilla-sugar mixture over the popcorn and stir quickly and gently to coat.
- Spread the popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely.
- Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh kernels for best popping results.
- Let popcorn cool fully before storing to avoid sogginess.
- A pinch of salt enhances the vanilla flavor beautifully.
