My first visit to the farmer's market (over 2 months ago) I bought popcorn. A 1 lb. bag of kernels. I was anticipating this to become a go to snack early on in my project. I never made any of it until yesterday. You need popcorn when you are going to watch a movie.
I have only made stove top popcorn when I was little on special occasions with my dad. That consisted of me watching while he made it.
Never fear, I discovered that stove top popcorn is very easy to make. I did not even burn my first batch!! Unfortunately, I have no photographs as proof, you will just have to believe in me. I just heated the oil until a few kernels popped, added in enough kernels to cover the bottom, covered it and let them pop.
It was so easy that I made popcorn again tonight. One quarter cup of kernels makes plenty of popcorn for one person.
What is your favorite kind of popcorn?
Honestly, when you said "let's make popcorn!" I thought that it would be all gross because it wouldn't have any of the good ultra buttery and salty stuff that's so bad for you. But girl, was I wrong! That stuff was so good! And it didn't make the top of my mouth all greasy and yucky like microwave popcorn does. And best of all, I didn't feel like I just ate a ton of lard after.
ReplyDeleteThe stuff you made definitely tasted better, and made me feel better about eating it. I'm going start making my own popcorn from now on. :)
We have so much Boy Scout popcorn. We use coconut oil to pop ours. What kind of oil did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used olive oil, it may not be the best but it was what I had on hand.
