Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw popcorn kernels
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • salt to taste
  • melted butter optional for topping

Method
 

  1. Place the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and heat on high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. As soon as the kernels are done popping, take the popcorn out and place it in a large bowl.
  5. Mix salt in the popcorn and top with melted butter.
