Popcorn at home in 10 minutes
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. If you love popcorn, you can now make it at home anytime. It turns out absolutely identical to store-bought popcorn, but there are two secrets to making it, which I'll tell you about below. Salt or sugar — add whatever you like to taste.

Step 1
1. The main requirement is dried corn kernels, and the second secret is that these kernels must come from the freezer. Only when these two conditions are met will you get real popcorn.

2. There is no need to deep-fry it; a little vegetable oil will be enough. For 1 ear of corn, 50 grams will suffice. Pour the oil into a regular small saucepan and place it over heat.

4. When the oil is hot, add the kernels and cover with a lid. From the sounds and pops, you'll hear when the corn starts to pop. Reduce the heat and periodically crack the lid open, but carefully.

Step 5
5. Literally just a few minutes—and the popcorn is ready to take out. Let some of the butter drain off if you want to keep the amount to a minimum. At this point, you can add salt or spices if you like salty popcorn.

6. I like it sweet, so I sprinkled it with powdered sugar once it had cooled. That's it!
