popcorn
janik AND boyer family tried and true method
NEED:
popcorn kernels (i prefer white jolly time)
canola or veg oil
salt
a large bowl (i like a metal bowl--holds the heat)
small pot with a lid
DO:
add enough oil the bottom of a small pot to cover at least one row of kernels (DO NOT ADD THE KERNELS yet)--
add 3-4 kernels (add or remove oil at this time if you do not have enough or have too much). cover pot.
place pot on stove over medium
listen for the kernels to pop
add the rest of your kernels to the pot (SHOULD NOT go above the oil--they should all be submerged). cover pot. shake it slightly.
prep your bowl--get it out and add a bit of salt in the bottom.
as the kernels start to pop, shake the pan up and down by holding the lid on. if the pot fills, open fast, and quickly pour some of the popcorn out into the bowl. put lid back on and return to stove.
salt the popcorn in the bowl. quickly toss.
shake pot on stove again.
quickly pour more popped kernels into the bowl, salt. put pot back on stove if more kernels to pop.
repeat until done. salt if needed and enjoy.
**by adding the salt while the popcorn is still hot and oily, no butter is needed :)
