Default Bacon Fat Popcorn

Bacon Fat Popcorn

Ingredients to Make the Bacon Fat Popcorn:

1/2 cup popcorn
3 tablespoons rendered bacon fat
1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment to Make the Bacon Fat Popcorn:

Heavy bottom pan or pop corn popper
Large bowl
measuring cup
spoon

Add Fat To Popper We happen to adore our old school Whirly Pop popcorn popper, but you can also use a heavy pan to get the job done as well. Add 3 tablespoons to the bottom and turn the heat on high.

Add Corn To Popper After the bacon fat has had a chance to soften and heat, add kernels and begin stirring or moving your pan so the kernels don't burn.

Stir, Stir, Stir! Stir or shake pan until the kernels slow up in their popping or you can stir no longer. There should be 3-4 seconds between pops.

Pour Into Bowl When popping slows, dump popcorn into large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Although the bacon fat lends some salt, we've found it's not usually enough and a little extra kosher salt really makes the piggy coated kernels sing!

i have not tried this. this is not my recipe.

I used to work with a guy in the main library at UT Austin that always popped his popcorn this way. I finally tried it and DID like it! But it'll be a LONG time (if ever) before I can eat corn again.

What's the difference in the carb count in this popcorn and say just microwave popcorn?

I know you asked this ages ago, but you can compare the carb count on the packages... the fat has no carbs to speak of. I think the biggest difference is that the bacon fat is good for you and the veggie oils and chemicals in the microwave popcorn are pretty unhealthy.
