Movie-Theater-Style Popcorn image

Serve A-list snacks, and your next movie night (or game day) will win rave reviews. This recipe offers two deliciously different takes on popcorn: classic butter and a maple-cayenne kettle corn variation. You just need a medium stockpot with a lid to get popping.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium heavy pot (preferably cast iron). Heat over high, stirring, until butter melts. Cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook, undisturbed, until kernels begin popping rapidly.
  • Offset lid to create a 1/8-inch vent along one side of pot; continue cooking until popping begins to subside, about 2 minutes. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl; toss until cooled slightly, about 2 minutes. Serve.
