Instructions
- Set a large 6-8 quart pot over medium heat. Ensure your pot has a good lid with a steam valve. *If you don't have a lid with a steam valve, you'll just need to ensure the lid is slightly offset, so the steam can escape but not the popcorn kernels!
- Place the popcorn kernels and ghee in the pot. Cover with the lid and shake the pot a little.
- Once the popcorn starts popping pay close attention. Allow the popcorn to pop until the last few pops are 3-5 seconds apart.
- Remove the pot from the heat source. Remove the lid. Sprinkle with salt and shake the popcorn vigorously. Serve warm!
