Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces (56 grams) white truffle butter
- 1 package microwave popcorn, such as Newman’s Own Natural
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Kernel Preparation: Microwave popcorn following package guidelines to achieve a full, crisp batch of kernels.
- Truffle Butter Transformation: Melt truffle butter in a small saucepan over low heat, transforming it into a smooth, liquid consistency without burning.
- Popcorn Coating: Transfer popped corn into a spacious bowl, then elegantly drizzle the liquefied truffle butter across the surface, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Seasoning Finale: Sprinkle kosher salt delicately over the buttered popcorn, then gently toss the mixture by rotating the bowl, guaranteeing each kernel is luxuriously coated with truffle essence and perfectly seasoned.
- Serving: Offer the gourmet popcorn immediately while warm, capturing its peak flavor and crisp texture.
Notes
- Elevate Popping Technique: Use fresh, high-quality kernels and follow microwave instructions precisely to prevent burning or unpopped kernels.
- Control Butter Melting: Warm truffle butter slowly over low heat to maintain its delicate flavor and prevent scorching, which can create a bitter taste.
- Ensure Even Coating: Use a large bowl that allows ample space for tossing, guaranteeing each kernel gets completely covered with truffle butter and salt.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the popcorn right after preparation to experience the optimal balance of warmth, crispness, and luxurious truffle aroma.
