Every movie night deserves a batch of this all-time favorite—Classic Butter Popcorn. Light, fluffy kernels drizzled with melted butter, offering a salty crunch that’s legendary and simple. This is your go-to popcorn that never disappoints. Curl up on the couch and enjoy!
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add 3 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and cover with a lid.
Once the first kernel pops, add 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer.
Cover the pot again, and shake it to ensure even heating.
Once popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop.
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly.
Season with salt to taste and toss again.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
