Perfect Popcorn (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - Salt (adjust to your preference).
02 - A third of a cup of popcorn kernels.
03 - Three tablespoons of coconut or olive oil.
04 - Butter, one tablespoon if you'd like (optional).
05 - Optional seasonings like paprika or nutritional yeast.

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up the oil in a sturdy, medium-sized pot over medium-high heat until fully liquefied.
02 - Toss 3 or 4 kernels into the heated oil and wait for them to pop.
03 - Spread out the rest of the popcorn evenly across the pot's bottom.
04 - Take the pot off the burner, cover it, and wait exactly 30 seconds.
05 - Put the covered pot back over the heat and let the popping start.
06 - Move the pot gently back and forth on the stovetop while the kernels are popping.
07 - Leave the lid slightly off to release steam for a crunchier texture.
08 - Wait until the popping slows down to just a few seconds between pops.
09 - Take the pot off the stove right when the popping significantly slows.
10 - Dump the popcorn into a big wide bowl immediately after cooking.
11 - If you want, melt the butter in the still-hot pot until it's golden brown.
12 - Pour the melted butter over the popcorn and give it a good stir so it spreads evenly.
13 - Sprinkle salt and any extras you like over the popcorn for flavor.
14 - Mix everything thoroughly so it's well blended, then serve while it's warm and crispy.

# Notes:

01 - Simple steps anyone can follow.
02 - No unpopped kernels left behind.
03 - Toppings can be easily swapped.
04 - Fast and easy to make.
