# What You’ll Need:
→ Popcorn
01 -
120 g popcorn kernels
02 -
30 ml vegetable oil
→ Coating
03 -
42 g unsalted butter
04 -
50 g granulated sugar
05 -
4 g ground cinnamon
06 -
1 g fine sea salt
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 2–3 popcorn kernels and cover. Once they pop, add the remaining kernels in a single layer, cover, and shake the pot occasionally. Continue heating until popping slows to intervals of a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
02 -
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until combined and the sugar is partially dissolved.
03 -
Drizzle the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture over the warm popcorn. Use a spatula or clean hands to toss thoroughly until all popcorn is evenly coated.
04 -
Let the coated popcorn cool slightly to allow the coating to set. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For a crispier texture, bake the coated popcorn on a baking sheet at 150°C for 10 minutes and let cool before serving.
02 -
Use coconut oil and a plant-based butter for a dairy-free variation.
03 -
For a hint of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
