With all of the artificial ingredients and disregard of our health in the store-bought microwave popcorn, I've been making homemade popcorn every weekend the old-fashioned way. I like to use peanut oil due to its high smoke point, but if you have allergies, then substitute vegetable oil.

Time 10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup unpopped popcorn
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a 2 to 3 quart saucepan or pot with a lid set over medium-high heat. Pour in popcorn kernels and sprinkle enough salt to lightly cover the layer of kernels. Remember, you can always add more salt later. Add the butter to the pot and cover with the lid.
  • As soon as the kernels start to pop, shake the pan back and forth across the burner constantly until the popping slows down. As soon as the pops are about 2 seconds apart, remove from the heat and pour into a serving bowl. Taste, and season with additional salt if desired.

Overall, I thought this popcorn was pretty good. It's not the best popcorn I've ever had, but it's definitely a solid choice.

This popcorn is a little too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my popcorn turned out burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, but the popcorn was just too dark.

This popcorn is a hit with my kids. They love the flavor and the fact that it's so fluffy.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can add any toppings you want to make it your own. I like to add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.

This popcorn is the perfect snack for movie night. It's salty, buttery, and cheesy. What more could you ask for?

Not bad! I made this popcorn last night and it was pretty good. I liked the flavor, but I thought it was a little too oily. Next time I'll try using less oil.

Easy peasy! This popcorn is so easy to make and it tastes delicious. I love that I can make it at home and it's just as good as the popcorn I get at the movie theater.

Meh. I thought this popcorn was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I followed the recipe exactly, but I found the popcorn to be a little bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more salt or butter

This popcorn is the bomb! It's so flavorful and addictive. I couldn't stop munching on it. I used white cheddar popcorn kernels and added some garlic powder and onion powder to the melted butter. It was perfect!
