I can make normal popcorn using a pan with a little bit of oil on the hob, but it is how to get the sweet flavour that they have in cinemas that I am struggling with. do i mix sugar with the oil? I don't want to end up with a toffee, butterkist, type of thing - just popcorn with a hint of sweetness.

what your aiming at is kettle corn which is a big thing here in ND it is i think german or norweign.... i watch and saw how it was made at some of the fairs they start with a good grade of [popcorn and start to pop in the normal way as it pop and nears finishing they stir in the salt and sugar ...it is not over bearing with sugar...now i make it by doing my regular thing on the stove with shaking the corn and oil and then ii adda 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter and it is near finished....i had to experiment with a certain pan and that is the one i use each time ...i shake the h...out of it on the burner after i add the sugar and keep it poping ...maybe this will help....but it is kettle corn...oh yeah the pan i use is cast iron...i had for 20 yrs and was hand down from ny gran...

My son makes fantastic popcorn. First pop it as usual either in a pan or in a pop corn maker. Then melt some butter, golden syrup and sugar in a pan. Add this mixture to the popcorn and coat well. Then bake in the oven for approx 5 / 10 mins.
Its great!

I sprinkle a little sugar over the popcorn I make and shake it so that the sugar gets evenly distributed. I don't put sugar in the oil. Just sprinkle it over the popcorn when it's done.

Mixing sugar with the oil will give it the flavor you are looking for. Not too much sugar but a pinch or two should do the trick.

I use butter instead of oil and icing instead of sugar. Sprinkle the icing over the just popped popping corn and shake well.

if you have a micro wave get the movie style popcorn from the store, put it in the microwave and pop it. if you want more butter. put margerine in a little bowl, and melt it in the microwave, then put the popcorn in a bowl and pour the butter over it. I hope you like your popcorn.
