1. Put the sugar in a pan over the heat and stir until it takes on a light brown color.
2. Add 1/4 cup water and the small piece of butter and stir quickly for 10 minutes.
   Timers: 10 min
3. Turn off the heat, then add the baking powder.
4. Note: If the sugar hasn’t fully dissolved, you can strain the caramel.
5. In a pot, add oil, popcorn kernels and a pinch of salt.
6. Reduce the heat so the kernels pop gently. Shake the pot occasionally so they don’t burn.
7. Place the popped corn in a bowl and drizzle the cooled caramel over it.
8. Toss so the popcorn absorbs the caramel evenly.
9. Spread the caramel popcorn on a tray and let it cool.
10. Separate the clusters once cool — they will stick together because of the caramel — then serve. Caramel popcorn
