Popcorn

You probably never thought that you needed a recipe for popcorn. I did not think that I needed it either. But after executing this recipe many times, I now know that I needed it. Follow the recipe exactly, and make sure to measure the ingredients correctly.

Ingredients:

 

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

 

• Heat oil and 3 kernels in a covered large saucepan over medium-high heat until the three kernels pop.
• Remove pan from heat, add remaining kernels, cover, and let sit for 30 seconds.
• Return pan to medium-high heat.
• Continue cooking with lid slightly ajar until popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops.
• Meanwhile melt the two tablespoons of butter. I prefer to melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Transfer popcorn to large bowl.
• Drizzle half of the melted butter over the popcorn.
• Toss with two large spoons.
• Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the popcorn and toss again.
• Sprinkle one third of the salt, toss, and repeat until all salt is incorporated.
• Serve.
