Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Organic Popcorn Kernels
- 1 brown paper lunch bag
Instructions
- Place the popcorn kernels in the paper bag. Fold down just the top of the brown bag and place in the microwave.
- Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, keeping an eye on it the whole time.
- When the popping slows down (2-3 seconds between each pop), remove from the microwave and pour into a bowl.
- Sprinkle with a little salt, a drizzle of butter or whatever you like on your popcorn.
Notes
- Fold Securely: Fold the top of the bag down twice—no staples or tape! Metal in the microwave is a big no-no. Folding securely traps steam for better, more even popping.
- Listen for Pops: Microwave times vary, but a good rule is to heat on high for 1.5-2 minutes and keep an eye on it. The key is to listen carefully: when the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, it’s time to stop the microwave to avoid burnt popcorn.
- Measure the Right Amount of Kernels: Stick to about ¼ cup of popcorn kernels per standard lunch-size paper bag. Overfilling can cause burning or uneven popping. If you're feeding a crowd, make multiple batches instead of cramming too much into one bag.
