PS This recipe will teach you how to make stove top popcorn regardless of your desire to try the crazy yeast powder. I also like mine with butter and salt, a couple pinches of sugar and a bit of cracked black pepper. Yum! Or if I'm on a little weight loss plan, I'll use olive oil in place of butter, a bit of salt, and I'll eat a reasonable amount versus one that's three times the size of my head.
Brew-sy Cheese Popcorn
(the name that stuck from my childhood days)
Cover the bottom of a mid-sized soup pot with oil (any type, I use peanut oil). Then cover the bottom of the pot with one single layer of popcorn kernels. Put a tight fitting lid on it and turn the heat to a couple notches over medium. I set it to number 7 every time and it's perfect. Now wait and don't lift the lid or mess with it until it's done popping.
Meanwhile, melt half a stick of butter (or 2/3 if your pot is on the large side) on the stove and collect your kosher salt and nutritional yeast powder.
When you can count to 3 without hearing a pop, pour the popcorn into a big bowl.
Using a soup spoon, drizzle the top of the popcorn with about one third of your melted butter. Give it a pinch of salt and a rounded spoonful of yeast. Toss it in with the spoon or your hands. Add the next third of butter, another pinch of salt and a spoon of yeast, and toss. Finish with the rest of your butter. Toss, then add salt and yeast to taste.
*If your kernels popped up small and tough, try a new bag of popcorn or lowering your heat next time.
*Try not to over do the salt. It may seem like it needs more but once your halfway through that bowl you'll regret that extra pinch.
*Brewer's yeast makes most people's pee a very bright yellow color-like unnaturally scary yellow. This is normal, do not worry.
Thanks for checking out my blog, and enjoy your day!
yum yum!
ReplyDeleteI bought some Red Star Brewer's Yeast to try this. Before I got the chance, I heard to never use brewer's yeast because it's very bitter, but instead to use Nutritional Yeast. ??
ReplyDeleteI have used both and have loved both, but as an example I also love Marmite (which is insanely bitter) so I don't know if I'm a neutral judge. The powder I am using on my popcorn at this time is nutritional yeast powder that I purchased from the bulk section at a whole foods market.
