Ingredients

• 1 cup Popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat with a lid nearby. Add the vegetable oil and 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot.

Step 2

Cover the pot and wait for the test kernels to pop. Once they pop, it indicates the oil is hot enough.

Step 3

Remove the test kernels and add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer in the pot. Immediately cover with the lid.

Step 4

Give the pot a gentle shake to coat the kernels evenly with oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 5

Listen for the popping sounds. Once the popping starts to slow down significantly (about 1-2 seconds between pops), remove the pot from the heat.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe container or small pot. Pour the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing or stirring to coat it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salt and, if desired, the sugar lightly over the popcorn while tossing to ensure even coverage.

Step 8

Transfer to a large serving bowl and enjoy immediately!
