Bring a large pot to medium-high heat.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil and wait 30 seconds.

Add 1/3 cup of popcorn, cover with a lid, and shake the pot occasionally.

Remove from heat when there are 3-5 seconds between pops.

Use a strainer to separate the popcorn from the liquid, returning the liquid to the pot.

In a medium heat pot, combine water, unsalted butter, and salt, bringing it to a light simmer.

Reduce heat to low and add the popcorn, cooking for about 20 seconds to soften.

Strain the mixture again, leaving the popcorn behind and returning the liquid to the pot.

Push the mixture through a strainer to achieve a gritty texture, adding back some of the liquid as needed.

Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and more liquid as desired.
