Heat oil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan or lidded pot over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels and lightly sprinkle enough salt to cover the layer of kernels. You can add more salt later. Add the butter to the pot and cover with the lid.

As soon as the kernels begin popping, shake the pot back and forth over the burner continuously until the popping slows.
