Stovetop Popcorn
Servings 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup plain popcorn kernels our dad always said Orville Redenbachers was the best
- a sprinkle of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add three popcorn kernels and cover with the lid.
- Heat until the three kernels pop. This indicates the oil is hot!
- Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot, and cover again. Continue to cook over medium heat, shaking the pot often. The kernels should start popping in about 30 seconds.
- Keep shaking the pot over medium heat until the kernels stop popping. Pour the fresh popcorn into a serving bowl and toss with salt. Enjoy!
Variations
- Sometimes I like to forgo the salt and add a spoonful of cheese powder instead.
