Microwave Kettle Corn

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. popcorn kernels
2 tsp. oil 
1 Tbsp. sugar or sugar substitute (I use 2 packets of Ideal)
Dash salt

Directions:
  • Pour the kernels, oil, sugar and salt in a small bowl.  Mix until all kernels are well coated with sugar, salt, and oil.  
  • Pour the bowl's contents into the paper bag.  Place the bag on a plate and fold the top of the bag over 1" twice.  You can also use a microwave-safe bowl and a vented lid (like a microwave-safe colander or splatter shield),
  • Place in the microwave on popcorn setting or for about 1 minute, 15 seconds. Either way, shut off microwave when popping slows to less than a pop every second to avoid burning.
  • Open slowly and carefully, as steam will be hot.
