- 3 TBS refined coconut oil (can sub vegetable oil)
- 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 2.5 TBS granulated sugar

Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium high heat. 3 TBS refined coconut oil
- Add three kernels of popcorn to the oil. Let all the kernels pop, to show the oil is hot enough.
- Add the remaining popcorn kernels, and shake the pan for about 10 seconds to help the kernels warm up. 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- Pour the granulated sugar and salt over the kernels and stir them together. 2.5 TBS granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp salt
- Cover the pan loosely with a lid, and once the popcorn starts popping, shake the pan every 5 to 10 seconds constantly to keep the bottom of the pan from burning as much as possible.
- Let the popcorn pop until the popping just slows down, about 1 to 2 seconds between pops.
- Pour the popcorn out on the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle additional salt over the top of the popcorn.
- Let the popcorn cool for a couple minutes.
- Remove any burnt or unpopped kernels, and enjoy!
Notes
- Heavy Duty Pan: Use a very large and heavy duty pot to make this popcorn. You'll want a pot that is at least 5 quarts, and is sturdy, especially on bottom.
- Don't try to double this recipe: The popcorn is best when made in small batches. Though of course you can make a second batch if needed.
- Wire Rack: Pour the popped corn over a cooling rack to separate the unpopped kernels from the popped corn.
- Easy Cleaning: If you have any burnt sugar in the bottom of the pot, add a couple cups of water over the top, bring the pot to a simmer to help the sugar melt down, for about 5 minutes, Pour the hot water out, and hopefully your pot is cleared now. Wash the pot as usual.
