Stovetop popcorn
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil ( see #1 below )
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup "optional" melted butter ( see #2 below )
- optional seasoning ( see #3 below )
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottom pot, heat the coconut oil on med-high heat until 3 test kernels pop.
- Discard those kernels.
- Stir in the popcorn until coated in oil.
- Place the lid on the pot.
- Shake the pot (not on the element) with the lid held firmly in place every 15 seconds so nothing sticks.
- Keep cooking until the popcorn is popping once every 3 seconds or so.
- Immediately pour into a bowl, drizzle with the "optional" melted butter.
- Shake it up to distribute the butter, and repeat with 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of your favourite seasoning (salt works).
- Makes around 5 cups
Notes
- Coconut oil makes it taste just like movie theatre popcorn, 'cause that's what most theatres use.
- HAHAHAHAHAHA optional
- 1/4 tsp salt might be too much, start with 1/8 tsp.
You might want to go crazy and pick up some powdered flavourings - your local grocery store/Wal*Mart likely carries an assortment of cheese, salt&vinegar, dill pickle, etc seasoning. I'm sure you can always order this on Amazon
