How Do You Make Homemade Microwave Popcorn?
I am not a big fan of microwave popcorn, it tastes well, artificial to me. I grew up eating popcorn made the old fashioned way you know, in a pot with oil on the stove top, then with drizzled butter and popcorn salt sprinkled on top. But sometimes I feel I am in a rush and the kids love to have popcorn, so I found myself falling back on the microwave version and found home style which was better, but still left a nasty taste in the mouth. And then I finally figured it out. How to make microwave popcorn taste good. Simple, make it from scratch!!! Pour 1 TBSP olive oil into a brown paper bag (a lunch sized bags works well). Add a handful of popcorn kernels to the bag. Fold the top of the bag shut using small folds, folding over two or three times. Place in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes (microwave times may vary, remove when the popping slows). Pour into a bowl and enjoy, you can add any of your favorite toppings at this point, salt, butter, cayenne pepper, powdered cheese, etc.
