REAL Popcorn

 

 

Stovetop Popcorn – my kids favorite because they can watch it!

 

1/3 c. GMO-free popcorn (Richardson Farms)

1 T. coconut oil

2 T. pastured butter, melted

Sea salt

 

Use a large stockpot and set stove to medium-high.  Add coconut oil and popcorn kernels; cover with a flat mesh lid (or another lid that will allow some venting but keep the popcorn in!).  Shake pan occasionally to move kernels around.  Continue shaking occasionally through the popping process – kind of like the microwave, when it slows down considerably, that is usually a good time to stop cooking!  Remove from heat, add salt and butter and toss to coat. 

Will stay good for about 2 days if you let it cool completely and put in an airtight container.  (Good for school snacks/lunches)

 

 

 

Microwave Popcorn – for when you are REALLY in a hurry!

 

1/3 c. GMO-free popcorn

2 T. butter, melted

Sea salt

 

Place popcorn inside a medium-sized brown paper sack.  Fold top half of the bag down and place in microwave for approximately 3 minutes.  Once popping slows down considerably, stop cooking!  Pour melted butter and salt on top; toss to coat.
