Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup popcorn kernels 60g/2oz
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 ½oz/45g

Instructions
 

  • Put the popcorn kernels in a medium brown paper bag. Roll the top of it closed nice and tight. This will keep in the steam while cooking
  • Place the bag upright in the microwave (not on it’s side)
  • Cook for roughly 1 minute 35-50 seconds or until the kernels stop popping at the rate of at least 1 per second. Keep an eye on it (NOTE: my microwave is 1200 watts so your cooking time may vary depending on your microwave)
  • In the brown paper bag, pour in the melted butter and shake the bag while pouring the butter in a slow stream. Enjoy immediately
