Ingredients

  • cup popping corn
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil *coconut or grapeseed oil will also work
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Place a large, high quality pan on the stovetop. Measure oil and salt into the pan and place heat on medium low.
  • Place 3 test kernels in the oil and put a lid on the pan.
  • When you hear test kernels pop, add remaining popcorn to the pan and quickly re-lid. This time, place the lid at a slight angle so that steam can escape (this will make the popcorn crisper rather than chewy).
  • Give the pan a good shake halfway through to encourage un-popped kernels to the bottom. Once pops are 2-3 seconds apart, remove from heat.
  • Add desired toppings and seasonings to your popcorn and enjoy!

Storage:

  • Store in an airtight, food safe storage container for up to a week.
