Description
Here is the best way to make Foolproof Stovetop Popcorn. No burning, no missed kernels! It’s a gluten-free, whole grain snack and only 54 calories per cup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or organic canola oil
- 1/2 cup + 3 kernels popping corn kernels, divided
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Pour oil into the bottom of a heavy-bottomed large saucepan or soup pot. Add 3 kernels corn, cover and place over medium-high heat.
- When the three kernels pop, add the remaining ½ cup kernels. Cover the pot and swirl to coat the kernels with oil.
- Return to the heat and cook, shaking the pan occasionally to redistribute the un-popped kernels to the bottom of the pot. Continue cooking until the popping slows to less than one pop in 4 seconds. Immediately pour the popcorn to a bowl and add salt.
Notes
Cooking Tip:
Remember to start by adding the oil and test kernels to an unheated pot. After you put it on the heat, listen for the three pops. You’ll know that the oil is hot enough, but it won’t get too hot to burn the kernels or popcorn. Then as soon as the popping slows down, get it out of the pot and add the salt.
