make sure if you do it in a saucepan you use enough oil, i didn't and so have little black marks over the bottom of my stock pot

Not being very adventurous I only have 2 styles, salted or plain, what do others do for flavours and how do you get them to stick to the popcorn?

I did that too:mad: thats why i tried the microwave. Easier to clean a glass dish.
By the way i didnt put any oil butter or marg in the dish with the corn in the microwavE JUST POPPING CORN.

I use 2 tbsp of sunflower oil and 2 tbsp of popcorn kernals. I make it in a deep lidded frying pan. Wish it had a see-through lid so i could watch them burst:)

We like to melt some butter and golden syrup together and toss the popped corn in that.

2 sticks (1 cup) butter .........???????????

It looks like an American recipe. A quart is 2 pints, Cups are often used in US recipes, I would use a medium drinking mug. I guess any syrup would do, not corn starch though.

A quart is 2 pints (quarter of a gallon) but an American pint is smaller than a UK pint.

A US pint is 16 fl oz (2 US cups), so a US quart is 32 fl oz or just over 1 and a half UK pints, or 1 litre more or less

2 sticks of butter or 1 cup = 8oz (227g)

corn syrup -you can't get here -I'd use golden syrup too;) corn starch is the same thing as cornflour so don't use that!

Basically melt a load of butter and add something sweet -sugar, golden syrup, maple syrup, honey and you'll get something tasty to pour on your popcorn.
