  • 3/4 cup butter melted, divided
  • 1 cup popcorn kernels

  • Once the two kernels have popped, add the rest of the popcorn. It should cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. Cover and listen for the popping to get really rapid. This takes 3-4 minutes. Place the lid slightly ajar to let out some of the steam. When the popping starts slowing down, turn off the heat.
