- 2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
Melt two tablespoons of ghee (or warm two tablespoons of olive oil) in a pot with a matching lid over high heat on the stove.
Once the ghee or oil is hot, add 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot (this will help you gauge the temperature and let you know that the ghee/oil is hot enough). Once the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn, put the lid on the pot, and remove the pot from the heat for 30 seconds.
Put the pot back on the heat and once the kernels start popping, give the pot a gentle shake. Then listen!
Once the popping slows to one pop every 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat.
Enjoy!
