Stovetop Popcorn

You may wonder why I have popcorn listed on my recipe list. Well frankly I was shocked when I found out that many people have never made popcorn on the stove. Their only experience with popcorn has been microwave crap or several day old movie theatre popcorn (yes it's true, I used to work at one). Anyways season this as you like but make sure to make the kernels crunchy. You can add melted butter and salt for the traditional flavor or caramel/chocolate for a dessert twist.

Ingredients:
  • popcorn kernels
  • vegetable oil
  • salt
  • butter
Directions:
  • Place a thin layer of oil on the bottom of a pot
  • Fill pot with a single layer of kernels
  • Cover pot and turn on stove
  • Once you hear popping, gently shake kernels around pot several times
  • Leave on heat until you hear 2 seconds between pops
  • Remove from heat
  • Salt and flavor accordingly

Enjoy!
