Popcorn!
Barbecue style popcorn
Servings: 12
Equipment
- stovetop
- large pot
Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- ½ cup ghee
- salt to taste
- sugar to taste
- spicy smoked paprika to taste
Instructions
- Set a large pot on your stovetop over medium heat. Melt ghee in the bottom of the pan. Add 3 kernels of corn to the bottom of the pan. Once all three of the kernels have popped, pour the rest of the kernels into the pot and cover with lid.
- Allow kernels to pop. With potholders, pick up the pot from time to time and shake with a side to side motion so as to shift the kernels around. Remove pot from heat once popping slows, you will still hear kernels pop every 3 seconds or so.
- Allow popping to cease completely and then open lid. Add seasonings in layers, stirring and tossing after each sprinkle. I like my popcorn more heavily seasoned, but you can experiment with what you like!
Notes
Using a stainless steel pot is preferred. Cast iron will be very heavy and hard to shake.
