I actually made a bowl of popcorn last night. I use part oil/part butter, and just dump in the amount that looks right. It's probably one of the first things I learned to cook - and I don't think we ever measured it.
(The butter sort of browns and gives the popcorn a bit of a browned butter taste - different than oil-based popcorn and not as buttery as adding melted butter at the end. But, I like it.) I bought my sister a special popcorn popping pan for Xmas last year - they were all over the place. I also got her this stuff that you could dump in with the kernels to simulate kettle corn. It's pretty much just sugar. On Mon, 8 Nov 2004 16:37:03 -0400, Angel Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ha! > Yes that is it!
