Homemade Stovetop Popcorn
This delicious popcorn tastes just like warm, movie theatre popcorn minus the hundreds of bad ingredients. Warm, fresh and tasty, you will love making this mouth-watering treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- melted butter optional for topping
Instructions
- Place the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and heat on high heat.
- When the oil starts boiling, place a few kernels in the saucepan. If they pop, the oil is hot enough, and you can dump the rest in.
- Cover the saucepan and wait until the popping sounds stop (approx 5 minutes). From time to time, gently shake the sauce pan to prevent burning.
- As soon as the kernels are done popping, take the popcorn out and place it in a large bowl.
- Mix salt in the popcorn and top with melted butter.
