Making homemade popcorn is easy to do and far cheaper than throwing a processed bag of popcorn into the microwave. Most importantly, making your own popcorn allows you to control how much butter salt you put on top and in my opinion it tastes much better than the store boughten.
As a Christmas, white elephant gift, I was the lucky winner of not only a spaghetti squash but also popcorn kernel stalks from my uncles garden. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the popcorn was compared to the bags and what a cheap snack this is.

Instructions
- Pour the oil into the pan, making sure the entire bottom is evenly coated.
- Heat the pan over medium heat.
- Add the popcorn to the pot and immediately cover the pan
- Slide the pan over the heat back and forth to keep the popcorn kernels from burning. Do not remove the lid of the pan while the popcorn is popping. Continue to slide the pan during cooking
- Listen to the amount of popping. When the popping slows to about two seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat
- Pour the popped corn immediately into the large popcorn bowl. Season with real melted butter and salt to taste, or any other toppings.
