    Hi
    You can buy popping corn from any supermarket, its about £1.50 for around 500g. Seem a lot but a bag lasts us ages.

    I have an air popper but you can pop it in a pan with a close fitting lid.

    A bit of butter at the bottom, handful of corn, lid on and give it a shake, you will hear them start to pop after a minute or two, keep shaking every now and them, when the popping starts to slow down then should be done. My kds just like a dusting of icing sugar once popped (you can add sugar to the butter before you put the corn in)
    Me i like mine with salt :0)

  • Hi
    I buy mine from the supermarker (most stock it) sometimes its not in an obvious aisle tho:oits often beside asian supplies. A bag shouldn't cost you more than a pound or so and you only need a small amount to fill a pot. I put a small amount of oil in the bottom of the pot and roughly cover the bottom with corn (honestly you will get loads) put the lid on and after a few seconds you will start to hear it pop, give it a shake every now and again and listen out for the popping stopping. Then you just need to take it off the heat and decide what flavour you want to add. Curry powder or chilli can be good if you like spicy but the good old classics of some sugar, salt, or syrup.

    I got mine from approved foods, and just put it in a large container in the microwave. When it's finished popping you can add flavours.

    I do mine in the microwave in a glass bowl with cling film over the top. A little goes a *very* long way!!!!

    I like to drizzle melted butter over once it's done, and a little salt...

    I cannot help with finding it in the supermarket, I always have to ask as I can never find it.... Because a bag lasts so long, by the time I need another one I have long since forgotten where it was!!
