Homemade Popcorn
Ingredients:
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tbsp. (7 grams) unsalted butter
Salt to taste (preferably sea salt or Himalayan pink salt)
Directions:
Pop the Kernels:
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even popping.
Continue cooking until the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, then remove the pot from the heat.
Prepare the Butter:
While the popcorn is popping, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop.
Combine and Season:
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss well to coat.
Sprinkle salt to taste and toss again to distribute evenly.
