Ingredients

½ cup popcorn kernels
3 tbsp unsalted butter
¾ tsp fine salt, or to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

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.
