Stovetop popcorn

Print Recipe
Servings 5 cups

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

  1. Coconut oil makes it taste just like movie theatre popcorn, 'cause that's what most theatres use.
  2. HAHAHAHAHAHA optional
  3. 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
