Photo: Perfect Popcorn Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- 3 ounces popcorn kernels, approximately 1/2 cup
- 1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 6-quart, metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.
Place the bowl over medium heat and shake constantly using a pair of tongs to hold the bowl. Continue shaking until the popcorn finishes popping, approximately 3 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil. Stir in any salt that is on the side of the bowl.
Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Serve immediately.

This recipe does make the perfect popcorn. The ratios are just right.
I added some smashed garlic to the butter and salt and pepper...heaven...except for the crumby movie. :

I had no idea homemade popcorn could taste this good compared to bagged ones. I used canola oil, another flavorless oil and no butter. Very, very easy to do, though my didn't start popping until 1 minute left and finished right up at the 3 minute mark.
