We take the easy option and get the microwave stuff! I find it better than the stuff you pop yourself because the flavouring sticks to the popcorn instead of falling off!

They do butter, salt and sweet flavour and it is in the crisp aisle of supermarkets, in a box with three packets

melt butter and add sugar and boil. Pour over popcorn. Caramel. Yummy

put two table spoons of any oil into a tall pan. The pan has to be tall so the corn can move and pop around in plenty of space. I tried this in a smaller pan and it does not all pop.
when the oil is warm or hot enough add 2 handfuls of popping corn stirring all the time on medium to high heat. I keep it on nearly high.
At the same time have your lid ready and put a tea town under the lid covering the top to give your saucepan more insulation and stop the condesation forming in the pan when popping.
Soon as one pops quickly add the lid, gas up high and lift the pan slightly swirling it around the gas flame so all the corn pops. Near the end when you know the corn is stopping put the saucepand down, turn off the gas leave for 60 seconds and your sure no more popping. Lift lid sprinkle with salt, shake and empty.
All your popcorn should of popped, you may find one or two are a little hard but most will be light and crisp. Best served hot!
I tryed to make sweet popcorn but the corn goes soggy.
I have made this way for years.
