Directions

1. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add oil.
2. Add 3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid.
3. Once all three kernels have popped, add the remaining popcorn kernels evenly to the pot.
4. Cover with lid and shake the pot occasionally to keep kernels moving and prevent burning.
5. When popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
6. Transfer popped corn to a large bowl.
7. Drizzle melted butter over popcorn and sprinkle with salt (and any additional seasonings).
8. Toss well to coat evenly.
9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later consumption.
