Ingredients
  • Popcorn:
  • 1/2 cup popcorn
  • 1 tbs rendered bacon fat
  • 1 tbs canola oil
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup popcorn
  • 1 tbs rendered bacon fat
  • 1 tbs canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon sal de provence
Instructions
  1. Render Bacon Fat. I keep leftover rendered bacon fat in the fridge for later use. If you don't keep rendered fat in your fridge, you can render by cooking 4 slices of bacon. If you don't eat pork you can substitute an extra tbs of canola oil or any other high temperature cooking fat or oil.
  2. Add 1 tbs of bacon fat and 1 tbs of canola oil to a popper or heavy pot on high heat.
  3. Put one kernel of popcorn in the pot. When the kernel pops add the remaining corn kernels to the pan.
  4. With the lid ON shake the pan so the kernels don't burn.
  5. Stir or shake pan until the kernels slow up in their popping. There should be 3-4 seconds between pops.
  6. Pour popcorn into bowl and sprinkle with sal de Provence. Although bacon fat is salty I don't think it is salty enough. The herbs combined with the bacon fat is delicious!
