Preparation

Chef’s notes

Coconut Oil:
This will impart the best taste and texture, but you can substitute vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.
Ghee:
The key to keeping the popcorn crisp and not soggy! You can buy ghee at most stores now, but you can also make your own clarified butter (see post above for instructions).
Alternative Cooking Methods:
See the post above for instructions on making popcorn in an InstantPot and the microwave.
Storage:
Allow the popcorn to cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
