Better than Movie Theater Popcorn - Homemade Recipe
Movie nights are a time for laughter, shared stories, and maybe a few too many trips to the concession stand. But let's face it, those overpriced snacks, fake movie theater butter, and sugary drinks can leave you feeling yucky and your wallet lighter. Enter the humble hero, the champion of budget-friendly movie magic and nourishment – organic popcorn.
Equipment
- 1 Large pan with lid
- 1 Large bowl
- 1 Meltynax grab it here
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil or other cooking oil
- ⅓ cup organic popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½-1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Korean Chili Flake optional
Instructions
- In a large pan with lid, heat cooking over medium high heat. Add about 3 kernels and place the lid on the pot. Allow the kernels to cook until you hear them pop, about 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining popcorn kernels and give the pan a good shake to coat all the kernels in the cooking oil. Return the lid to the pot and turn down stove to a medium heat.
- Let kernels cook for 30 seconds and give the pot a shake ensuring the lid doesn't come off. Do this every 30 seconds until you hear the popcorn stop popping for 3 seconds. This will take about 3 minutes.
- Turn off heat. Carefully remove the lid.
- Add the popcorn to a large bowl.
- Melt your better in the Meltynax, on the stove, or in the microwave. Once the butter is melted, add desired amount of salt and Korean chili flake to the melted butter.
- Pour half of the butter mixture over the popcorn. Toss until evenly distributed. Add the remaining butter and toss again. ¡Buen Provecho!
