Directions
- 1
Add the oil, water, sugar, and popcorn kernels to a large pot all at once and stir well to combine.
- 2
Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until kernels start popping (about 15 minutes). Be careful — the popcorn will jump, so keep a safe distance.
- 3
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and shake it gently from time to time until the popping slows down significantly.
- 4
Once there are more than 5 seconds between pops, remove from heat.
- 5
The popcorn will be lightly caramelized with clusters — that golden, sticky coat is exactly what you want.
- 6
Transfer to a large bowl and toss generously with the powdered milk until every piece is evenly coated.
💡 Chef's Tip
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the hot popcorn before adding the powdered milk for an irresistible sweet-salty twist that takes this snack to the next level.
