Not the least fattening way to make it, but certainly the tastiest.
Perfect Popcorn
Mom has the perfect method of making popcorn. She took it off of some Jiffy Popcorn box, she thinks. Here's how it goes.
3 Tbsp peanut or grapeseed oil
1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels
1 3-quart covered saucepan
Heat the oil in the saucepan on medium hight heat. Put a few popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl.
With this technique, all of the kernels pop, and nothing burns.
Add melted butter and salt to taste.
