Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the kernels pop, the oil is ready.
Step 2
Add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover with the lid and shake the pot gently as the kernels pop, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
Step 4
Melt the 3 tbsp butter in the microwave or a small saucepan. Drizzle over the popcorn, sprinkle with the 0.5 tsp salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Serve warm and enjoy!
