Discover the delightful simplicity of homemade microwave popcorn. Freshly popped with just the right amount of crunch and flavor, it's the perfect snack for movie nights, parties, or any time you're craving a quick treat.
Popcorn has been a popular snack in America for centuries, often enjoyed at fairs and movie theaters. Making it at home in the microwave is a modern twist on this classic treat.
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Place 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels in a large microwave-safe bowl.
2. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe vented lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
3. Microwave on high for 2-4 minutes, or until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops.
4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot).
5. Drizzle melted butter over the popcorn and sprinkle with salt.
6. Toss the popcorn gently to evenly coat with butter and salt.
7. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
To reheat, place the popcorn in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds until warm and slightly crispy.
