Coconuty Movie Theater Popcorn
This is a straightforward simple recipe to make really good popcorn at home without a microwave. It requires a TOUCH of arm strength but other than that is basically fool proof.
INGREDIENTS:
4 tablespoons coconut oil
⅔ cup corn kernels
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar (or two if you want it sweeeet)
LET’S COOK:
Select a medium sized pot with a lid
Turn the heat on your cooktop to medium high and add 1 tablespoon of oil
Once the oil is melted add in a few kernels and put the lid on
Once the kernels pop you know the oil is hot enough so throw in the rest of the corn
Put the lid on the pot
Once the kernels start popping lift up the pot a few inches from the flame and shake it
Keep shaking until the popping begins to die down
Turn off the heat and let it sit until there is no more popping
Pour popcorn into a large bowl
While the pot is still hot add the additional 3 tablespoons oil and salt and sugar
Give it a good mix to dissolve the sugar
Pour over popcorn, mix, and enjoy
