Here's how to make buttered popcorn USA style:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Place a large pot with a lid over medium-high heat.
2. Add the popcorn kernels to the pot.
3. Place the lid on the pot and gently shake it until you hear the kernels starting to pop.
4. Continue to gently shake the pot occasionally while the popcorn is popping.
5. Once the popping slows down and there are about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
6. Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
7. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and sprinkle with salt.
8. Use a large spoon or your hands to toss the popcorn until the butter and salt are evenly distributed.
9. Serve and enjoy immediately while the popcorn is still warm and fresh.
Optional: You can also add additional seasonings to the popcorn such as garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, or chili powder for extra flavor.
