Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or canola
  • 2/3 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons flaked sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut oil and 3 popcorn kernels to a large pot. (I use my Dutch oven.)
    Cream cheese melting in a skillet for a baked cheese dish.
  • Cover and cook over medium-high heat until all 3 kernels pop.

  • Cover. This is an important step, you take the pot off the heat and cover to even out the heat and help make all the kernels pop at the same time!

  • Wait 30 seconds (use your own timer). This should be enough time to even out the heat on the pot and the kernels.

  • After about 2 minutes, when the popping has slowed down, take the lid off of the pot. This lets the steam out and keeps the popcorn crisp.
