Servings: 16 cups
Calories: 34kcal
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP coconut oil you can use a little less or a little more – it doesn’t have to be exact
- ½ cup popcorn kernels Orville Redenbacher’s works the best!
- butter and salt to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Place the coconut oil in a large stockpot (mine is 12 quarts and works perfectly). Put about 5 kernels in the oil and heat over medium-high heat (with the lid on) until the kernels start to pop.
- Cook: Add the rest of the kernels, put the lid back on the pot and wait until all of the kernels start to pop. While the kernels are popping, I usually give the pan a good shake every 30-45 seconds until there is more than 3-4 seconds between pops. Once this happens the popcorn is ready.
- Serve: Remove the popcorn from the heat and transfer it into a large bowl. For some added taste, add a little salt. If you want extra yummy popcorn, melt 3-4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it over the popcorn before adding the salt, it is so good. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Homemade popcorn will stay fresh for up to 5-7 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
