BALTIC CITY POPCORN.
Sometimes you just want a little piece of home. Brothers Darien and Shawn Kaine miss "Baltic City Seasoning" when they travel to the Akashic Academy. Everyone back on Terra-1 has their own version of "Baltic City Popcorn." Our universe doesn't have "Baltic City Seasoning, " but we can substitute using a Maryland favorite, Old Bay. To learn more about the Kaine family and their adventures, listen to our podcast:
Battalion-13: The Podcast
Makes about 40 cups of popcorn 🍿
Supplies
A heavy bottomed pot with lid (a see through lid is optimal)
Large spoon for stirring
Mug or Pyrex Liquid Measuring Cup for microwave
Small spoon
Large bowl for popcorn
Ingredients
3/4 Cup Canola or vegetable oil
Salt to taste
6 tbsp Butter or cannabutter
Old Bay to taste
1/2 cup Nutritional Flake yeast
1 1/2 Cup Popcorn
Steps
Pour oil into the pan until it coats the bottom of the pan, no more than 1/8 inch in depth.
Line the pot with popcorn, being careful to not add more than 1/4 inch in depth.
Place lid on the pot.
Turn your burner onto medium high heat.
Listen for popping sounds.
While you are waiting for the popcorn to pop, you can melt 1/4-1/2 a stick of butter in the microwave.
Cover with microwave splatter lid if you have one.
Melt for 20 seconds at a time until melted but not boiling.
Set it aside.
When the popping accelerates, be careful to watch in case your popcorn exceeds the capacity of the pot.
If this occurs, pour out some of the popcorn into the bowl while keeping the lid in one hand and close to the pot. You only want to remove a third of the popped popcorn to make room.
Then replace the lid and return the pot to the stove in case there are any un-popped kernels
When the popping slows to one pop per second, remove from heat and pour the popcorn into the bowl.
Then use the small spoon to drizzle melted butter over popcorn. Sprinkle with salt, old bay and nutritional flake yeast. Then stir with your large spoon.
Repeat this process until all of your popcorn is coated to your desired taste.
