Ingredients
Let’s make it
- Put oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a large heavy lidded pot over medium-high heat.
- When the test kernels pop, add the remaining kernels in an even layer and cover. Shake the pot occasionally using oven mitts.
- When popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat. Keep covered until popping stops, then open away from your face.
- Melt butter, drizzle over popcorn, and toss with salt. Discard any unpopped kernels before eating.
