Equipment

Kosmos Q Salt & Vinegar Dust for Popcorn & More
7 Quart Hard Anodized Nonstick Pot

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
½ cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
2 teaspoons white vinegar or white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil.
Add three kernels to the oil. Heat until they start to pop.
Add the remaining kernels.
Cover and shake the pot until there are about 5-8 seconds between popping or until the majority of the kernels are popped.
Remove from the heat.
Place the popped kernels in a large bowl.
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
Stir in the vinegar.
Drizzle over the popcorn, stirring or tossing to coat.
Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!

Notes

Use a neutral oil like sunflower oil, canola oil, or coconut oil.
You can also pop the popcorn in an air popper.
I prefer a flaky kosher salt with large flakes but you can also use sea salt.
Use dry kernels not microwave popcorn. The popcorn seasonings won't stick to it.
Store in a popcorn tin or other airtight container.
Skip the vinegar in the melted butter and use vinegar seasoning (powder) like this one. It gets its tang from sodium diacetate and malic acid.
