This has been a very popular activity around our house for the last couple of days. Thanks to Maize Hutton, we have been making our very own microwave popcorn and I give it a huge thumbs up for super easy, super yummy and for making Lord A think I can do magic.
Here is a quick rundown of the process (not that you really need it but for all those other visual learners like myself here goes).
Grab a paper bag and some popping corn. I am recycling a paper bag some takeaway soup came in but you can use any paper bag I would think. Like Maize Hutton did, I will probably buy some lunch bags and make a bunch for the freezer.
Throw a handful into the bag (I worked out that two tablespoons in the bag was right for my microwave).
Fold over the open end a couple of times (you can tape this end shut if you want but this bag was big enough that nothing was going to be falling out).
Pop it in the microwave and put it on for about 2 mins (longer than 2 minutes and they start to burn - trust me).
Declare yourself a magician to the under 5 set and throw some melted butter and salt over them in a bowl.
Mmmmmmmm....
Dad used to make popcorn in a pot, I think he swirled around some oil (or not can't remember! will ask him..) & then chucked in some corn, put the lid on & then the game would be to wait. & every time it popped we'd have to jump. I used to love trying to anticipate when it would pop...
