Method
- 1
Heat the oil
Heat the oil in a covered, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, with a couple of test kernels dropped in first.
- 2
Pop the kernels
Once the test kernels pop, add the rest, cover, and shake the pot occasionally over the heat.
- 3
Remove promptly
Once the popping slows to a few seconds apart, take the pot off the heat right away to prevent scorching.
- 4
Butter while hot
Tip the popcorn into a large bowl and drizzle over the melted butter immediately.
- 5
Season and toss
Sprinkle with salt and toss well so the butter coats every piece evenly, then serve right away.
Nitra tip
Melt the butter just before the popcorn finishes so it's still hot and pours evenly rather than clumping.
