📝 Preparation Steps
1
Melt 2 tablespoons of refined coconut oil (popcorn oil, or high smoke point oil of your choice) in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Once the oil is shimmering, add 3 popcorn kernels to the bottom of the pot and cover it with a lid.
3
Continue to heat, shaking occasionally, until at least 2 of the 3 popcorn kernels pop.
4
Once the kernels have popped, remove the pot from the heat and add in the remaining ¼ cup of popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and shake the pot to coat the kernels in oil.
5
Rest for ⏱️ 1 minute, allowing the oil to cool down.
6
Return the pot to the heat source and cook with the lid secured until you begin to hear kernels pop (about ⏱️ 2-4 minutes).
7
Once you hear the first few pops, tilt the lid slightly to allow the steam to escape during cooking.
8
Heat until the pops slow to one every few seconds, shaking the pot every now and then to ensure the kernels cook evenly.
9
When the pops slow down to a near stop, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to rest for about ⏱️ 20-30 seconds before removing the lid completely.
10
Add in the melted butter (or popcorn butter) and stir gently to coat all of the kernels. Sprinkle in the salt, adding more to taste (it should taste similar to movie theatre popcorn).
11
Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
