1
Pop the Popcorn
In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Once those kernels pop, you know the oil is hot enough.
2
Add the Kernels
Remove the lid and add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer. Cover the pot again and shake it gently to coat the kernels with oil.
3
Popping Process
Allow the popcorn to pop, shaking the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
4
Add Butter and Seasoning
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Drizzle the melted butter over the popped popcorn and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle salt and any additional seasonings over the popcorn and mix well.
5
Serve
Transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl and enjoy your house popcorn!
