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: Start by placing the coconut oil in a large stockpot (mine is 12 quarts and works perfectly).Then, put about 5 kernels in the oil and heat over medium-high heat (with the lid on) until the kernels start to pop.
  • Cook: At this point, 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: Proceed to 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 sooooo good. Serve and enjoy!
