Directions
- Melt a small amount of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add some oil (just a small amount if you have already added butter; otherwise, enough to cover the bottom of the pan). ≈ 3 min
- Add the sugar, and a pinch of salt if you like. ≈ 3 min
- Once the sugar has melted, pour the corn evenly into a single layer and cover. ≈ 3 min
- When the popping slows down, turn off the heat and wait for it to stop completely before opening: some grains may still pop.
