Generously Buttered Popcorn
January 11, 2024 • 0 comments
Ingredients
- (1/2 cup) Chemical-Free Popcorn Kernels, 1lb
- (2 tbsp) 1 pint - A2/A2 Ghee (Glass)
- (1/2 cup (57g)) 1lb Unsalted A2/A2 Butter
- (to taste) Fine Celtic Sea Salt, 8oz
Directions
- Place the butter in a small pot. Melt over low heat until foamy. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the layers to separate. Using a spoon, gently remove the foamy top layer of the butter and discard it. Set the clarified butter aside.
- In a large pot with a lid, melt the ghee over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels, swirling the pot to coat all the kernels evenly with ghee.
- Shake the pot frequently to prevent the kernels from burning. Once the first kernel pops, cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
- Keep shaking the pot until the popping sound slows down. Once it slows, take the pot off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the remaining kernels to pop.
- Drizzle the prepared butter over the popcorn slowly, stopping when you reach the opaque part of the melted butter. Discard the remaining butter or save it for another use.
- Stir the popcorn to ensure even butter distribution, then season with salt to your liking.
Notes/Tips
This recipe is delicious as is, but for an extra gourmet touch, consider sprinkling some of our shredded A2/A2 cheese over the top. And for those who love a sweet and salty combo, tossing in a few chocolate bark thins will do the trick. To round off this delightful snack, pair it with a refreshing glass of milk or a bubbly kombucha!
