Perfect Homemade Popcorn

Recipe via Brown Eyed Baker
Yield: 3 quarts
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup popping corn
3 tablespoons butter, melted

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the oil, salt and popping corn. Turn the heat to medium, cover the pot with a lid left slightly ajar, and shake once or twice.

2. The corn kernels will begin to pop within a minute or two. Once the popping slows to an almost stop, remove the pot from the heat.

3. Transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl and drizzle with melted butter, tossing well to combine. Add more butter or salt, if preferred.
