Directions:
In a 12 inch thin bottom skillet (with a lid that has steam holes) add oil and butter on high heat. When butter has melted add 2 kernels of corn, put lid on. When the test kernels have popped add the rest of the corn. Pop the corn while shaking the pan until a good amount has popped, but there are still kernels in the pan. Dump popped corn into giant bowl and put back on heat until the rest of kernels have popped. Add salt and more butter if you want.

Variation: Sugared Popcorn- Add 1T sugar with the hot oil butter.

Personal Notes:
Note from Lee's daughter Jill: The Lee Miller family got together recently and we made Daddy give us his recipe for popcorn. This is what Tera and I grew up with and what Lee grew up with: "Sunday Night Popcorn."

Here are Lee's notes:

Sunday night dinner at Clarence and Opal (Poe) Miller's was usually popcorn and apples. Clarence never cooked anything besides popcorn, except flat fried eggs. On Sunday night he did pop the popcorn for the family in a light-weight 12-inch skillet. Occasionally mother would boil sugar water until it was about crystallized and then this was poured over the pan of popped pop corn and stirred in for a sugary coating.

Now at our house, I am in charge of the corn popping, following Daddy's recipe. For a sugar coating, I add about one tablespoon of sugar to the pan and when it cooks down and blends with the oil, I add the popcorn kernels as described in the recipe.

MMM good! This is usually on a weekend and especially when Tera and Jill are home. Ba-hum-bug to microwaved popcorn!
