This is a great recipe for making homemade popcorn that tastes like movie theater popcorn. I honed this recipe back in 2021 after not being able to go to the movies for a year. I use a WhirleyPop, but any thin walled pot (wok, etc.) with a foil lid with a few vent holes will work.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
• 1.5 tbsp ghee
• 1.5 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp powdered salt

Note: butter CANNOT be substituted here, ghee has a much higher smoke point and less moisture content. Note: powdered salt can be made with a spice grinder and some coarse sea salt.

Steps

1. Combine both oils and powdered salt in a thin pan (or WhirleyPop) on medium heat.
2. Add a few kernels of popcorn, after they pop, add the rest of the kernels.
3. Stir for ~2 minutes or until you hear around 1 second between pops.
4. Remove from heat while stirring with lid removed.
5. Enjoy!
