This sweet popcorn is cooked on the stovetop in butter, and a little salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper infuse it with a whole range of flavors. The butter will splatter, so use a heavy, high-sided skillet, or better yet, a Dutch oven.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place a potholder or kitchen towel, a paper grocery bag, or a large baking sheet on the counter. Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Drop a couple of corn kernels into the oil. Once they pop, proceed to the next step.
- Once the oil is hot enough, add the butter and stir quickly to prevent burning. Add all the popcorn at once and stir (the butter may not melt completely). Immediately add the sugar and stir again. Cover the pan and gently shake it back and forth on the burner, holding it in place with an oven mitt or towel. Continue shaking until all the popcorn has popped.
- As soon as the pauses between pops increase to 1-2 seconds, immediately turn off the heat. This means the popcorn is almost done. Be careful not to over-pop it. Transfer the popcorn to a paper bag or baking sheet and sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a bowl. Caution: sugar makes the popcorn very hot!
