Lea’s Buttery Popcorn Recipe
- Heat 3 TBSP’s coconut oil in a large soup pan on the stove (mine is about 12″ in diameter and 4″ deep) over medium-high heat.
- When just melted (you don’t want it to smoke), dump in 3/4 cup popcorn kernels. Shake gently to roll the popcorn in the hot oil. Cover (my lid is glass so I can see through).
- In a minute the popcorn will start to pop. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 stick butter (4 TBSP’s) in small saucepan until melted. Set aside.
- After a few minutes, the popping sound will start to die down. You can shake gently every few seconds if you wish, but I don’t always shake and it comes out fine.
- When there is a 3 second interval between pops, and your pan is full of popcorn, shut off the heat. It’s done!
- Pour contents into very large bowl, or two large bowls (this makes a lot!). Drizzle butter over bowls. Shake on some REAL Salt to taste.
- Eat and enjoy!

Popcorn is my all-time fav snack food! I use a crank style stove top popper and coconut oil. I use a small butter warming pot to melt the butter and go to town with salt and butter and freshly grated parma! Thank for reminding folks that no one need resort to microwaved popcorn! I stopped by from Real Food Wendesday!
this is one of our famil’s FAVORITE snacks! we go into crisis mode when there isn’t any popcorn in the house!
Blessings

Thanks for sharing this idea. My kids love popcorn but have only had the microwaved. I bet they would get a kick out of making it this way.
Thanks for linking up!

I am so happy that you posted this recipe. We always just shake our popcorn on the burner, but so many folks don’t really know they can do that. It is so much better! Hope you have a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Twenty Years ago, the topic would have made no sense. Microwaves ruined a lot of good foods, and popcorn is one of them. We use an “antique” 80′s air-popper, but it does not get that wonderful taste that coconut oil gives.
I do it ALMOST the same way, except I only make about 2/3 of the pot full, so when it’s done popping, I can melt the butter in the side of the same pan, then put the lid on and shake.
Sometimes, I add a TB of dark muscavado, which makes “kettle” corn, lighter and less sweet than a caramel corn, and much easier than messing with syrups.
