Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil for a different flavor)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
- Optional seasonings (e.g., cheese, caramel, or spices)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a few kernels; if they spin and pop, you’re ready to go!
- Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid. Make sure to leave a small opening for steam to escape, preventing soggy popcorn.
- Once the popping begins, shake the pot gently to ensure that all the kernels can cook evenly. Keep shaking until the popping slows down, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully lift the lid to release any trapped steam, and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
- If desired, drizzle melted butter over the popcorn while it’s still warm. Sprinkle your preferred seasonings and give it a toss to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful treat with friends and family!
