Brown Butter Popcorn

1. 1

   Heat the oil large pot over medium heat.

2. 2

   After the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels, and then shake the pot to gently toss the kernels until they are all coated with oil.

3. 3

   Cover with a splatter screen or a lid that is placed slightly ajar to allow the steam to escape.

4. 4

   Cook until the popcorn popping frequency slows to several seconds between pops.

5. 5

   Remove from heat, allow a minute or two for any final pops, and then pour into a large bowl.

6. 6

   In a small saucepan melt butter over medium heat.

7. 7

   Continue cooking until it starts to develop an amber color and gives off a nutty smell (if it seems like it is cooking too fast, occasionally lift off of heat and give the pan a few shakes, then return to heat).

8. 8

   Set aside.

9. 9

   Drizzle over the popcorn and season with salt and pepper, tossing occasionally as you butter, salt, and pepper the popcorn.
