How to Make Homemade Popcorn

There aren’t many things I buy from a package these days — except of course crackers to accompany cheese plates and chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth (but that doesn’t count…). One of my favorite snacks that I used to buy packaged was popcorn. Three minutes on medium-high in the microwave, and I was in heaven.

A year or so ago, I realized I could buy just the kernels {for less!} and control what I wanted going into my popcorn. So much more appealing, and satisfying knowing I had “made” it myself. Thus, a new love affair was born. It’s so easy – and once you do it this way you’ll never go back. It’s one of my favorite ways to elevate an at-home movie or catching up on a few episodes on Netflix.

Ingredients:

  • Popcorn kernels {available at any grocery store – I buy ours at Whole Foods Kensington}
  • Coconut oil
  • Seasoning {I use Old Bay. Londoners, it’s also sold at WF!}

MP Popcorn Container

Place your pot on the stove, and crank the heat up to high. Scoop out just enough coconut oil to coat the bottom of the pan once melted {this happens pretty much instantly}. Pour in your popcorn kernels so you have a layer of them across the pot. You don’t need too much here, it makes a lot!

Put the lid onto your pot, and watch it cook. It will be about 3 minutes when you start hearing the kernels going crazy. Another minute or so, and you’ll have a fully popped pot of popcorn. {Say that three times fast!}

MP Popped Corn

Once you don’t hear much popping anymore, just take the pan off the heat source and pour gently into a large bowl. Lightly add on your seasoning, and serve warm.

MP Old Bay Popcorn

Now you’re set with the perfect munch mix to accompany your TV binge watching {plus you’ll be a marvel to your friends or significant other that you made it “from scratch,” I swear}. We still have House of Cards on our watch list, so hoping to fit an episode in today between the gym and heading to the Country 2 Country concert at the O2. Happy weekending!
