Notes

The booklet says jumbo popcorn is best for this.

From the booklet “Ed May’s Contest-Winning Popcorn Recipes” (Earl May Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa, dated 9/82), which printed 27 recipes picked from more than 1,100 sent in by Midwest homemakers. The steps are in our own words; both sides of the booklet are shown below.
