Popcorn
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- Heat oil in a large saucepan (3 quart) over medium-high heat.
- Drop in one kernel and cover pan with lid. When kernel pops, pour in
the rest of the popcorn kernels.
- Shake pan frequently to help unpopped kernels drop to the bottom of the
pan.
- When there is 3 or more seconds between pops, pour popcorn into a large
bowl. Season with melted margarine and salt, if desired.
Notes: You may use a smaller pan, just use adjust the amount of popcorn
kernels accordingly. Kernels should be able to fit in a single layer on
the bottom of the pan. To avoid scorching kernels after they have popped,
a heavy, thick pan is preferred.
