This is a great snack to have while you are enjoying a movie 🙂
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoons of butter (optional)
- salt to taste
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a 3-quart thick-bottomed saucepan on medium high heat. If you are using coconut oil, allow all of the solid oil to melt.
- Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil. Wait for the popcorn kernels to pop.
- When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer.
- Cover the pot, remove from heat and wait 30 seconds. (This method first heats the oil to the right temperature, then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping temperature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time.)
- Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner.
- Tip: As the popcorn pops, try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper).
- Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and pour the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.
- Melt butter in the empty hot pan. Once melted drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to distribute.
- Sprinkle popcorn with salt to taste and enjoy!
- Optional additional toppings: Spanish smoked paprika, cayenne powder, chili pepper, curry powder, cumin, grated Parmesan cheese.
