Ingredients
Units
- 1/4 cup dry corn for popcorn (in supermarkets)
- 1 paper bag
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Merken or chipotle powder
- salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter with the Merken/chipotle in a small microwave or saucepan.
- Place corn in a paper bag and fold the top 2-3 times on itself, as seen in the pictures.
- Cook in microwave on high for 2 minutes and a half to three minutes. This will depend on the power of your microwave. Stay next to the microwave while cooking; it is ready when you stop hearing the pops.
- Remove and carefully open. There will be steam inside the bag.
- Pour into a large bowl, pour the butter with the Merken/chipotle above, and add salt. Stir well for 1 minute to mix.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: If using flavored oil, use two tablespoons instead of the butter.
Merken is a Mapuche seasoning (Chilean native indigenous people) that is a mixture of species with smoked chili, coriander, and other spices, you can replace it with chipotle powder.
