Never overspend on Microwave Popcorn from the store again! Learn how to make popcorn in the microwave from scratch with these two easy methods. No popcorn popper needed!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
Instructions
- Place ⅓ cup popcorn kernels in a paper lunch sack. Fold the top down making 2 folds.
- Set the bag upright in the microwave. If the bag tips over while the popcorn is popping, it’s ok. It will not affect the popcorn.
- Microwave for 1 and-a-half minutes or until there is 1-2 seconds between popping kernels. It is better to have a few unpopped kernels than a whole bag of burned popcorn.
- Always monitor the popping process. Leaving the bag unattended and microwaving for too long may result in fire.
- After the popcorn is done popping, remove the bag and add desired toppings.
Notes
- You can also make this using a glass microwave safe bowl. Place ½ cup popcorn kernels in bowl. Cover bowl with microwave safe plate. Microwave for 2-5 minutes, or until there is 1-2 seconds between popping kernels. (*mine took exactly 5 minutes). Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. It will be hot. Serve with desired toppings.
