Ingredients

Method
  • 2 T vegetable oil
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • salt, to taste

Method

Ingredients

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the popcorn kernels and allow to sizzle a bit before covering with a lid. A glass lid would be ideal so that you can observe the popcorn.

2. Pop for 5 minutes or until most of the kernels have popped – listen and turn off the heat once the popping slows down considerably taking care not to let it burn. Turn out into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy while warm.
