Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup unpopped popcorn
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
In a 2 to 3 quart saucepan or a pot with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Pour in the popcorn kernels, sprinkling them with enough salt to lightly cover them. Add the butter to the pan/pot and put the lid on.
-
When the kernels start popping, shake the pan back and forth across the burner constantly until the popping slows down. When the pops are around 2 seconds apart, take the pot/pan off the heat and pour the popcorn into a serving bowl. Season with some more salt if you like.
Recipe Notes
If you can't have peanut oil for whatever reason, substitute it with either vegetable oil or coconut oil.
