Buttered Popcorn
Makes: 4 to 6 servings Time: about 10 minutes
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn ½ cup popping corn 4 tablespoon (½ stick) butter or good extra virgin oil (optional)
Salt
- Put the neutral oil in a large, deep saucepan (6 quarts or so) with a lid over medium heat. Add 3 kernels of corn and cover.
- When the 3 kernels pop, remove the cover and add the remaining corn. Cover and shake the pot, holding the lid as you do. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popping sound stops, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter if you choose to use it.
- Turn the popcorn into a large bowl; drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with salt while tossing the popcorn. Serve immediately if possible; popcorn is best when hot.
Salty-Sweet Popcorn. You will crave this, and it’s great with or without the butter: Sprinkle the popcorn with salt and superfine sugar as soon as it’s done, tossing for even coverage. Taste and add more seasoning as needed.
Parmesan Popcorn. Grate the Parmesan as finely as possible: Add ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan and toss with the hot popcorn.
Herb Popcorn. Lovely with either butter or olive oil: Add ¼ cup minced herbs. Make sure the leaves aren’t wet before chopping; press between paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Sprinkle on the herbs as you drizzle the butter or olive oil
