Microwave Popcorn

Commercially-prepared microwave popcorn - for me - is too buttery and salty. We typically use a Crate & Barrel stovetop popper with a crank handle.

 

However, recently I came across this easy recipe to make your own microwave popcorn. It is much less expensive than what you might buy at the store, and it has endless seasoning possibilities.

 

 

Ingredients

• 1/4C popcorn
• 2t oil
• Pinch of salt

 

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into a lunch-size paper bag.
2. Fold over the top of the bag two times and staple twice.
3. Place on a plate and microwave for about 2 minutes, or until popping has slowed to one pop every 4-5 seconds. For my microwave 2 minutes at 90% power is the right combination.
