CINNAMON-SUGAR POPCORN



Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn image

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:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels: Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, use a variety of popcorn kernels that are specifically designed for popping, such as butterfly or mushroom kernels.
  • Use fresh popcorn kernels: Old popcorn kernels will not pop as well as fresh kernels. If you are unsure how old your popcorn kernels are, it is best to buy a new bag.
  • Measure the popcorn kernels correctly: The amount of popcorn you get will depend on the amount of kernels you use. Be sure to measure the kernels accurately so that you do not end up with too much or too little popcorn.
  • Use the right amount of oil: Too much oil will make the popcorn greasy, while too little oil will make it dry. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 tablespoons of oil for every 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
  • Heat the oil properly: The oil needs to be hot enough to pop the popcorn, but not so hot that it burns the popcorn. The ideal temperature for popping popcorn is between 400 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shake the popcorn pan frequently: This will help to ensure that all of the kernels pop evenly. If you do not shake the pan, the kernels at the bottom of the pan will burn while the kernels at the top of the pan will not pop.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it is finished popping: If you leave the popcorn on the heat for too long, it will start to burn.
  • Season the popcorn to taste: You can season the popcorn with anything you like, such as salt, butter, cinnamon, or chili powder.

Conclusion:

Making spicy cinnamon popcorn is a quick and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a snack, give spicy cinnamon popcorn a try. You won't be disappointed!
