Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup popcorn
  • Sea salt to taste

Optional Seasonings:

  • Nutritional yeast
  • Garlic powder
  • Seaweed flakes

Instructions
 

  • On low heat, melt butter until milk solids begin to bubble and brown. Be careful not to burn butter!
  • As milk solids begin to float on top, spoon them out into a small bowl.
  • When butter is clarified, take off burner and filter through a fine strainer or two to catch any last milk solids bits.
  • Place it back on the burner in the pot if you intend to use right away and keep on low.
  • Get out your favourite popper or pot and if necessary heat with a teaspoon of the ghee.
  • Pop the batch and transfer half into a large bowl.
  • Pour over half your heated ghee onto the freshly popped corn, and add half the desired seasonings and mix in well
  • Do the same with your remaining ghee and salt/seasoning.

Notes

  • Ghee technically does not have to be refrigerated as you have removed all of the dairy.
  • Ghee is also lactose-free, but I'd still let allergy or vegetarian guests make their own decisions.
  • 1 cup kernels makes 10+ cups of popcorn.
