Perfect Popcorn

Perfect Popcorn Recipe - TheRecipe.Website

Perfect Popcorn is an essential part of the weekend in our house. With the cost of living going up, home made popcorn and movie night is a time for my family to relax. This simple snack recipe takes 10 minutes to make and more than enough for 4 people. We like a sprinkle of salt and paprika but cayenne, curry powder, Italian seasoning or taco seasoning work really well.

Ingredients
 

Instructions

  • Place a good solid large saucepan over a medium high heat and add the olive oil. (The pan must have a lid).
    45 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • When the oil is hot, add a few kernels into the pan and wait for them to pop. This is a good way of knowing when the oil is at the right temperature.
  • Add the remaining kernels trying to keep them as level as possible.
    80 g popcorn kernels
  • Place the lid on the pan and take off the heat. Wait for 30 seconds then return to the heat.
  • The kernels should all start to pop and when they do, shake the pan well to make sure that nothing sticks.
  • When the popping slows down and there is a few seconds peace before the next pop, turn off the heat.
  • Tip the popcorn into a large/wide serving dish.
  • Add the butter to the hot popcorn saucepan and allow to melt and if possible, start to turn light brown. Light brown butter has a far more intense flavour.
    15 g unsalted butter
  • Immediately pour the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to spread it around.
  • Sprinkle paprika and a little salt over the popcorn and again toss.
    smoked paprika, salt
  • Serve immediately with a good movie.
