In a large pot with a lid, over medium heat, heat the oil with 2 or 3 kernels of popcorn.
Once those kernels pop, pour in ⅓ cup popcorn kernels, and cover with the lid. Gently shake the pot back and forth over the heat until you hear the popping slow to a few seconds in between.
Remove from heat and immediately toss with seasoning.
Microwave Instructions
To a brown paper lunch bag, add 2-3 tablespoons popping corn.
Fold over the top of the bag 1-2 times, and place the bag in the microwave on its side.
Microwave on high for 2 ½ - 3 minutes, until the popping has slowed to 2-3 seconds between pops.
