Steps:

Movie theaters use butter-flavored oil, which has a lower water content than butter so it makes popcorn less soggy. Real clarified butter has the same effect. To make it, melt 2 sticks butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Let sit for a few minutes; the butter will separate into 3 layers. Skim off the top layer of foam, then slowly pour the clarified butter into a heatproof container; discard the bottom layer of milk solids. Use 3 tablespoons hot clarified butter for 10 cups popcorn; refrigerate the rest (it's great for sauteeing).

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons honey (soften it in a microwave first)
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins

Steps:

In a saucepan set over medium-high heat, warm a couple of popcorn kernels with the coconut oil. Put a lid on the saucepan and wait for the initial kernels to pop. This lets you know the heat is just right. When the pan is hot enough, add the remaining kernels and replace the lid on the pan.
Carefully shake the saucepan as the kernels pop. When they are all popped, transfer the popcorn to a bowl and toss it with the salt. Add any of the extra flavor options that you and your friends might like!

Tips:

Use the right popcorn kernels. Mushroom or butterfly popcorn kernels are best for making movie theater-style popcorn.
Preheat your Whirly Pop popper. This will help to ensure that the popcorn pops evenly.
Add the popcorn kernels and oil to the popper. Use a 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and 1/4 cup of oil per batch.
Start popping the popcorn. Place the popper over medium heat and start turning the crank. Continue turning the crank until the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops.
Remove the popcorn from the popper. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
Season the popcorn. Add your favorite seasonings to the popcorn, such as salt, butter, or cheese. You can also add other toppings, such as chocolate chips or nuts.

Conclusion:

Making movie theater-style popcorn at home is easy with a Whirly Pop popper. Just follow these tips and you'll be enjoying delicious, fresh popcorn in no time.
