Darn Near Perfect Popcorn
A foolproof method for buttery, crunchy, perfectly popped popcorn.Popcorn is high in fiber, which we all know is a good thing. Dentists dig it because it’s a sugarless snack. And although pediatricians warn against serving popcorn to toddlers because of potential choking hazards, they do like home-popped corn for older kids because it doesn’t contain additives, dyes, preservatives, or other, you know, stuff.Microwaved and butter-flavored movie popcorn could possibly be another story, so pop your own. It’s good, it’s good for you, and it’s more fun than a barrel full of M.D.s. My favorite three popcorn toppings? Nutritional yeast, Japanese furikake, and sifted cheese powder.This recipe originally appeared in Season 10 of Good Eats and was revised in the Pantry Raid video series.
