Instructions
- In a large stock pot, heat the oil, and add 3 kernels to the pot (these are the test kernels). Cover with a lid. Once the 3 kernels start popping, add the 1/2 cup kernels and cover.
- Shake the pan occasionally, and once half the popcorn is popped, crack the lid to allow steam to escape.
- Immediately pour popcorn into a large bowl. Drizzle on butter, stirring. Sprinkle on salt, stir, and serve!
