Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Small Pot
  • Large Stock Pot

Ingredients
 
 

  • 113 grams coconut oil (divided)
  • 142 grams popcorn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot add 57 grams (¼ cup) of the coconut oil and 3 corn kernels, cover with a lid and put over medium/high heat. Once all kernels have popped, remove popped kernels and add all remaining corn kernels and cover with a lid.
  • Intermittently, gently swirl around the kernels in the pot. Once kernels start to pop, shake the pot frequently so popped kernels rise to the top.
  • When popping slows to 1 second between pops, remove pot from heat and remove lid.
  • Melt the remaining 57 grams (¼ cup) coconut oil and pour over the popped corn and add the sea salt. Add the lid and shake to coat completely.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Tips
  • Don't leave the stovetop whenever making popcorn, as it can burn easily if you are not swirling around the pot to move the kernels.
  • While I'm using coconut oil, you can use another kind of oil but the iconic flavor of the LesserEvil is a tad sweet, which is why I use coconut oil to mimic that!
  • Store popcorn in an airtight container to keep it fresh, it will last even longer in the freezer!
High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
