I can't believe this is my second popcorn recipe. You'd think I was some kind of popcorn freak, which I'm not. I mean, I like popcorn occasionally, but I stumbled across this recipe and it was so dead simple that I had to try it. And it worked! Every kernel popped, and nothing burned.

What's more, I got to use ghee, which is basically a natural butter oil with a higher smoke point that regular butter. I used kerrygold to make it so it's the real deal.

I know this is kind of a duh recipe, but frankly it blew my mind. You basically make it in a pot, but there's no shaking. My dad was crazy about popcorn and made it in a pot, but he would shake it constantly. There was something about the pot scraping back and forth against the burner that was akin to nails on a chalkboard. I hated doing it! So I never did.

But now I see that you don't need to shake it at all! It's easy. Too easy. This may now actually make me a popcorn freak.
