INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup of popcorn kernels
3 tablespoons butter, melted
salt
DIRECTIONS
Put a 6 quart pot with a lid on the stove over medium heat.
Add the vegetable oil and wait 3 minutes for the oil to heat up.
Add the popcorn kernels.
Shake the pot around to make sure the kernels are covered in oil and in a single layer in the bottom of your pot.
Cover the pot with a lid, but tilt it so the steam can escape.
When you hear the first kernels start to pop, shake the pot to move the kernels around.*
When there are 2 seconds between pops, turn off the stove and remove your pot.
Pour your popcorn into a bowl. Add melted butter and salt to taste.
*Don’t leave your popcorn. Cooking popcorn smells delicious. Burnt popcorn does not and it only take a minute to burn.
Her friends call her “Southern Belle.” But with three young children, she’s called “mom” more than anything these days. Debbie started Dede’s Cajun Cuisine in the fall of 2011 after catering a Southern lunch for a funeral at her church. She knew she wanted to share her love of cooking, southern heritage, and specifically, Southern food with her friends and family. The challenge became how to juggle all of that with her first priority of being a mom. Dinner time is always that crazy part of the day when everyone is hungry and tired. Between kid activities, never-ending laundry and the day-to-day grind of life, there isn’t enough time to prepare a meal from scratch.
