Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm and enjoy!
