Recipe

Step 1

Add 15ml to 30ml of oil to a pot with a lid. You can use common oils such as sunflower, rapeseed, or vegetable.

Step 2

Add kernels to the pot and shake to evenly coat in oil.

Step 3

Switch on the hob to a medium flame or heat setting and cook popcorn until popping slows to about 2 seconds per pop.

Step 4

When popping has finished, empty the popcorn into a large bowl, add seasoning to taste, shake, and enjoy.

 

Seasoning ideas

We opted for seasoning with freshly ground sea salt; however, there are many more ways to add flavour to your popcorn.

• Sweet - Add sugar or drizzle honey with a little butter
• Spicy - Add salt and butter plus a pinch of chilli powder for a spicy kick
• Tangy - Add a pinch of chilli powder with freshly squeezed lime juice for a citrus tang with a kick
