How to make pop popcorn on the stovetop

  • If you don’t want to make your popcorn on the stovetop, you can use your popcorn machine or microwave popcorn.
  • When popping popcorn on the stove, place oil in the pan (about 2 tablespoons of oil for half a cup of unpopped kernels) and turn the heat high.
  • Add two kernels of popcorn. Cover the pot and wait for the 2 kernels to pop. Once they pop, remove the pot from the heat and remove the 2 popped kernels.
  • Add the remaining unpopped kernels. Cover it, give it a good shake, and let it sit for 1 minute; this allows the popcorn kernels to heat up evenly. Put the pot back on the stove, turn the heat high, and wait.
  • Your popcorn should start popping within a few minutes. Once the popping has slowed to nearly a stop, remove the pot from the stove and let it sit for a bit longer to allow any stubborn kernels to pop.
  • Pour the popcorn into a large serving bowl.

  1. Ok Im feeling a little stupid on this red velvet popcorn recipe…when it says to add the red velvet cake crumbs are you just adding the cake powder or do you mix the cake powder with something else to get the red crumble look as shown in the recipe? Believe or not but I am a pretty good baker but stumped:( thank you much

  2. I have the same question about the cake. when it says to add the red velvet cake crumbs are you just adding the cake powder or do you mix the cake powder with something else to get the red crumble look as shown in the recipe?

  3. COOK cake then crumble it. Probably could just pulse it in the blender to get it fine. I thought she might have toasted the cake then crumbled it. That’s a good idea too, think I’ll make two batches
