We love them, so let's explore four basic flavors that we can easily experiment with! The famous popcorn, also known as "patlakia" in Thessaloniki, or "papardoules," "vampoulites," "patlanikes," "papalouskes," "kokonelles," "koukoufrikies," and many other names in different regions throughout Greece. How do you call them in your area?

Directions

Butter Flavored: ½ cup popcorn kernels 50g popcorn oil 3 tsp butter Salt

In a saucepan, add the popcorn oil and popcorn kernels. The kernels should form a layer at the bottom of the pan. Heat them for a while, then lift the pan from the heat for half a minute and put it back. This will make all the kernels pop simultaneously. Keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape. Remove the pan when the popping sound stops. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pot until it slightly browns and releases its aroma. Once the popcorn is ready, pour the melted butter over it, sprinkle with salt, and mix well. Your popcorn is ready!
