Popcorn Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Popcorn

   In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid. Wait until the kernels pop.

2. 2

   Pop the Popcorn

   Once the test kernels have popped, remove them from the pot and add the remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with the lid and shake it gently to coat the kernels with the oil. Continue to heat until the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops.

3. 3

   Season the Popcorn

   Once the popping has stopped, carefully remove the pot from the heat. Open the lid away from your face to avoid steam. If using butter, melt it in a separate bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn (if desired) and sprinkle with salt to taste. Toss to combine.
