Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon Flavacol
  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels

Instructions

  • Set a large pot over medium high heat. Once the pan is warm, add the coconut oil and Flavacol. Stir the flavacol until it is dissolved in the oil.
  • The oil should be fairly hot after a minute. Once hot, add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover the pot with a lid.
  • Wearing hot pads (see notes), shake the pot every 10-15 seconds to ensure the popcorn kernels don't burn.
  • Once all of the kernels have popped, remove the pot from the heat and trasnfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl. Serve!

Notes

You can use less than the noted 1 tsp of flavocal. 3/4 teaspoon will give you a lighter and more subtle "salty" taste. 
I use these glove style hot pads. They are the best!
