Description
Treat yourself to a home-cooked snack. You won’t go back to microwave popcorn after trying this. Pop the theater popcorn at home and get that theater smell!
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons pure coconut popping oil
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter for topping
Instructions
- Place the popper on the stovetop. Using the lid, pour the coconut oil into the popper. Add salt and kernel to the popper. Turn the heat from medium to medium-high and start cranking with your hand. The speed of cranking does not matter but make sure to stir it continuously.
- While stirring continuously for about two and a half minutes, popping of corn kernels starts. Now you will continuously hear the popping sound while hand cranking. When your hand feels some resistance while the cranking and popping sound decreases remove the popper from the stovetop immediately.
- After removing the popper from the stove stop you will still hear some popping sound. Open the whirley pop and serve the popcorn in a popcorn cup or a serving bowl. Pour melted butter on top of the popcorn for topping.
Notes
- Stirthe popper using the cranking mechanism to prevent the kernels from burning down. None of the kernels remain unpopped with continuous stirring.
- Never pop your popcorn with butter on the stovetop because it will cause smoke and burn the corn kernels.
- Use good quality whirley pop to get the best popcorn.
- Don’t cover the popper lid after popcorn is ready as they will get soggy due to moisture inside of the popper. Remove the lid immediately after the popcorn is done.
- Experimenting with different seasonings like white cheddar seasoning, paprika seasoning, butter, or garlic powder is the best for popcorn seasoning.
