This is a delicious no fail recipe that's great for the kids while they're still on holidays. Ideally serve with melted butter, sea salt and some almonds on the side to balance out the carbs in the popcorn. And of course skip the sugar.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels
  • 1 Tbsp of melted butter (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large thick-bottomed saucepan on medium/high heat.
  2. Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil. Wait for them to pop.
  3. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer.
  4. Cover the pot, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. This brings all the kernels to near-popping temperature so they pop at about the same time.
  5. Return the pan to the heat. Once popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan back and forth. Keep the lid slightly ajar to let steam release for drier, crisper popcorn.
  6. Once popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove from heat, remove the lid and dump the popcorn into a wide bowl.
  7. Melt the butter in the empty hot pan (let it brown a little for more flavour).
  8. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to distribute.
  9. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
