Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup butter melted, divided
  • 1 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Place a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven on medium heat to warm up. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add 2 kernels, place the lid on, and listen for them to pop.

  • Once the two kernels have popped, add the rest of the popcorn. It should cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. Cover and listen for the popping to get really rapid. This takes 3-4 minutes. Place the lid slightly ajar to let out some of the steam. When the popping starts slowing down, turn off the heat.

  • While the popcorn is still hot, pour over the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle on the salt. Toss well to coat.
