Pop, Pop, Popcorn - the healthy way (and the easy way)

Pop, Pop, Popcorn! Don't you just love the shock of the first pop? And then the thundering patter against the pan lid as it reaches a crescendo?! Beautiful music to my ears.

Popcorn is so easy to make at home and great fun if you have friends over. It can be a really low calorie treat if you make it right and can be delicious however you serve it! 


Popcorn Recipe
1/4 popcorn kernels
1tbsp coconut oil

Topping of your choice (Choc Shot to drizzle on, tbsp coconut oil mixed with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, knob of butter mixed with tbsp brown sugar)

Method

1.      Heat your coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat until melted and drop in 3 popcorn kernels, put the lid on and wait for them to pop. (Squeal with delight when they do).

2.      Pour in popcorn kernels, replace lid and remove from heat for 30 seconds (this is so all the kernels get to the same temperature so they pop together).

3.     Return to heat with lid still on and keep the pan moving continually over the heat. They will start popping after a little while - excitement! I recommend a clear pan lid so you can watch them pop! Do not remove the lid until popping has stopped...I mean it...w..a..i..t... 

4.     Discard any unpopped kernels (or duds). 

5.     Pour over and/or stir in your flavouring.

6.     Devour! Preferably with great company and a rubbish movie!


Try your own variations!
