How to Make Popcorn on the Stove
It is quick and easy to make popcorn on the stove. This popcorn is delicious!
Servings: 2 bowls
Equipment
- Large pot
- Spatter guard
- Oven mitts
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 1.5 tsp canola oil Or more, to taste.
- 2 tsp margarine or coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp salt Or to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat the pot on the stovetop over medium heat. While the pot is heating up, add the canola oil and 3 or 4 popcorn kernels. Place the spatter guard over the pan.
- Once the kernels pop, the pan is hot enough to add the rest of the kernels. Shake the pot to evenly coat the kernels with oil. Place the spatter guard over the top to prevent splashing oil and keep the popcorn in.
- Shake the pot periodically (while wearing oven mitts) to bring un-popped kernels to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from heat when the popping slows. Add popcorn to bowls, top with melted margarine or coconut oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve.
