Sweet popcorn

Directions

• In a large pot with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. 
  Add 2 or 3 popcorn kernels and cover the pan.
• Wait until the corn kernels burst. 
  This serves as an indicator that the oil is hot enough to add the rest of the beans.
• After the test popcorn kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover the pot again.
• Shake the pan gently so the grains spread evenly across the bottom. 
  Continue to shake occasionally to prevent the popcorn from burning.
• While the popcorn is popping, in another small pan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add sugar, vanilla extract and salt. 
  Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
• Once the popcorn is ready, pour the melted butter mixture over it. 
  Stir quickly to distribute the caramel throughout the popcorn.
• Cover the pan with a lid again and shake vigorously so that the caramel covers all the popcorn.
• Let the sweet popcorn cool a little before serving, so that the caramel can harden a little.
• Enjoy your delicious sweet popcorn!
