- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable or coconut oil)
- ½ cup of white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whirly-pop or 4 quart sauce pan with lid and long handled spoon for stirring
- Baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Place pan or pot on the stove at a medium-high heat, add oil, and just three of the popcorn kernels, and cover. When the kernels pop, the oil is to temperature and ready.
