Perfect Stovetop Popcorn: White or Yellow Kernels

Make crisp, evenly popped stovetop popcorn with Great River Milling Organic White Popcorn Kernels or Organic Yellow Popcorn Kernels. White kernels pop tender and delicate; yellow kernels deliver a larger, classic movie-night crunch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Great River Milling popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons high-heat oil, such as avocado or refined coconut oil
• Fine salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil, optional

Directions

1. Heat the oil with three kernels in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium-high heat. Cover the pot.
2. When the test kernels pop, remove the pot from heat, add the remaining kernels, cover, and shake to coat.
3. Return the pot to medium heat. Shake gently every few seconds while keeping the lid slightly vented so steam can escape.
4. When popping slows to two or three seconds between pops, remove from heat. Season immediately with salt and optional melted butter.
