4 servings
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ tsp fine salt, or to taste
Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and wait until all 3 kernels pop — this signals the oil is hot enough.
- 2
Remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining kernels in a single layer. Cover and let the pot sit off the heat for 30 seconds — this allows all the kernels to come up to roughly the same temperature so they pop more evenly.
