Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, measuring cups, butter, salt, and a large serving bowl.
- Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Ensure the pot has a tight-fitting lid to contain the popping kernels.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the dry, heated pot. Spread them evenly across the bottom of the pot in a single layer.
- Cover the pot with the lid, leaving a small crack for steam to escape. Gently shake the pot back and forth across the burner to prevent kernels from burning.
- Listen carefully as the kernels begin to pop. Continue shaking the pot periodically to ensure even heating and prevent burning.
- Once the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat to prevent burning.
- In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until completely liquid and slightly foamy.
- Pour the popped popcorn into a large serving bowl, then drizzle the melted butter evenly over the popcorn.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, gently tossing the popcorn to ensure even distribution of butter and salt.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low FODMAP buttery popcorn.
Tips
- • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning • Keep the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, preventing soggy popcorn • Shake the pot continuously while popping to prevent kernels from scorching • Remove from heat as soon as popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops • Use unsalted butter for better control of salt levels • For extra flavor, experiment with different salt varieties like sea salt or Himalayan pink salt • Always serve immediately for the crispiest texture • Store any leftovers in an airtight container, though fresh is always best!
