March 13th is National Popcorn Lover’s Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a fresh, buttery batch of perfectly popped home made popcorn? Whether you’re settling in for a movie night or just need a quick snack, homemade popcorn is easy to make and way better than the pre-packaged microwave stuff.
At First In Restoration, we know that small things—like a burst pipe—can cause big problems, but thankfully, small things—like a perfect batch of popcorn—can also bring BIG joy! We hope you enjoy our delicious but simple recipe.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/3 cup high-quality popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon butter (or more to taste, optional)
Salt to taste
Instructions for the Perfect Homemade Popcorn:
Heat the Oil – In a medium to large, heavy-bottomed pot (or dutch oven) heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Drop in 3 test kernels and wait for them to pop.
Add the Rest of the Kernels – Once the test kernels pop, pour in all 1/3 cup of kernels, cover the pot, and remove from heat for 30 seconds—this helps ensure even popping.
Shake It Up – Put the pot back on the stove over medium heat. Shake the pot gently back and forth while the kernels pop. If you keep the lid slightly off you'll let steam escape which will help keep the popcorn crispy (not tough).
Listen Closely – When the popping slows to about one pop every few seconds, remove the pot from heat.
Butter & Season – If using butter, melt it and drizzle over the popcorn. Sprinkle salt to taste and toss well. Another fun option: Try adding parmesan, cinnamon sugar, or chili powder for a twist!
At First In Restoration, we know life can be unpredictable—whether it’s a cozy movie night with the perfect homemade popcorn, or an unexpected water damage emergency.
