POPCORN (PAPER BAG METHOD)
I have been popping popcorn for many years using oil and butter. This method is less fattening and better for you. If you want to add butter,salt or other seasonings, you can after popping. This recipe I got from looking up "How to Make Popcorn" Microwave timing will vary with different microwaves. Mine takes 3 minutes. Just experiment like I did when popping in paper bag. Also this only makes enough for 1 serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of popcorn kernels. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. Some varieties are better suited for making popcorn in a paper bag than others. Hulless popcorn kernels are a good choice because they have a higher hull-to-kernel ratio, which means they produce more popcorn with less hulls.
- Use a brown paper bag. Brown paper bags are better for making popcorn than white paper bags because they are more heat-resistant. White paper bags can catch fire if they are exposed to too much heat.
- Fold the top of the bag down twice. This will help to keep the popcorn from popping out of the bag.
- Shake the bag vigorously for 30 seconds. This will help to distribute the kernels evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Microwave the bag on high for 2-3 minutes. The amount of time you need to microwave the bag will depend on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 2 minutes and add more time as needed.
- Listen for the popping to slow down. Once the popping slows down to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the bag from the microwave.
- Open the bag carefully. The popcorn will be very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself.
- Season the popcorn to taste. You can add salt, butter, or other seasonings to your popcorn.
