6.5 minutes 5 Steps

  1. Gather the ingredients

    • 3 tbsp coconut or neutral oil
    • 100g popcorn kernels
    • 30g butter, melted
    • ½ tsp fine salt

  2. Test the heat

    3 minutes

    Heat the oil with 3 kernels in a large lidded pot over medium-high heat until they pop.

  3. Rest the kernels

    30 seconds

    Add the rest of the kernels in one layer, take the pot off the heat and cover. This brings them all up to temperature evenly, so they pop together.

  4. Pop

    3 minutes

    Put it back on the heat with the lid slightly ajar to let steam out, shaking now and then, until there are 2–3 seconds between pops.

  5. Season

    Tip into a big bowl straight away and toss with the butter and salt.
