Instructions
- Put kernels and coconut oil in the popcorn popper or a 2-quart pot.
- If using a popper, turn it on and wait for the magic. If using a pan, turn it to medium or medium-high heat and cover with a lid. But really, if you don't have a popcorn popper, what are you doing with your life? Where are your priorities?
- While you're waiting, melt the butter. You can use a microwave for this step. Don't get me wrong--microwaves are OK, but they're just not good at making popcorn.
- Once kernels start popping (after about 4 minutes), shake the pan to help unpopped kernels go to the bottom. That also helps keep the popped ones from burning. If you're using a popper, just enjoy the show.
- When there's about 2 seconds between pops, turn off heat and remove the plate and cover from the popper (or the pan from the stove).
- Pour melted butter and salt to taste on the finished popcorn. Put on a lid and shake it up. Enjoy, preferably with a movie.
Recipe Notes
You can also use a different kind of salt or oil, but it might make your kitchen catch on fire.
