👨‍🍳 Instructions

In a cup or small bowl, mix together the unpopped popcorn and oil.

Pour the coated corn into a brown paper lunch sack, and sprinkle in the salt.

Fold the top of the bag over twice to seal in the ingredients.

Cook in the microwave at full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until you hear pauses of about 2 seconds between pops.

Carefully open the bag to avoid steam, and pour into a serving bowl.
