Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2-3 tbsp melted butter unsalted
- 3-4 tbsp cheese powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 to 3 kernels of popcorn and close the lid. (Add 3 tablespoons if your pan is large to cover the whole bottom.)
- Wait for the kernels to pop, it’ll take a few minutes.
- Once popped, add the rest of the kernels into the pan and quickly close the lid. Lower the heat to medium-low heat.
- Shake the pot to coat the new kernels with oil. Wait for the popcorn to start popping and shake the pot again as all the unpopped kernels will sink to the bottom of the pot while the popped kernels rise to the top.
- Continue cooking until the popping sound slows to about one pop per every few seconds.
- To the freshly popped popcorn, add the melted butter and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the powdered cheese over the buttered popcorn in a few batches and toss until completely covered. Add salt to taste.
