CINNAMON-SUGAR POPCORN

I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it, however I neglected to ask her for the recipe. 10 years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories...there's enough in the butter!) I used my deep dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or any other large, deep dish pan. It makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later.

Tips:

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh kernels will pop better and result in a tastier popcorn.
Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and prevent it from burning.
Add oil and popcorn kernels to the pot. The oil will help the popcorn pop evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
Cover the pot and heat over medium heat. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the popcorn from burning.
Listen for the popping sound to slow down. Once the popping sound has slowed down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Add the cinnamon and sugar mixture to the popcorn and toss to coat.
Enjoy your cinnamon sugar popcorn!
