Ingredients

4 servings

3 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
½ cup popcorn kernels
3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
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.
