Microwave Popcorn

Ingredients:
¼ cup white popcorn kernels
Paper lunch bag
Salt

Optional: 
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray (ICBINB)
Additional seasonings (powdered ranch dressing, garlic powder, sour cream and onion powder…)

Method:
Measure ¼ cup of kernels and place in paper lunch bag.  Fold top of bag over twice (small folds).  Place on its side in microwave, gently shake to distribute kernels evenly and set microwave to popcorn setting or for 3 ½ minutes on high.  Don’t leave the microwave-listen for gap between pops to reduce and stop microwave when gap is 4-5 seconds.

Remove from microwave and carefully open bag into serving bowl.  I spritzed mine 5-6 times with ICBINB and sprinkled with salt (amount per your taste). Experiment with various seasonings to your heart’s content!  I used truffle salt on my most recent bag.
