Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
Honey Cinnamon Butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup pure honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Pop the Corn: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover with a lid, and wait until the popping slows down significantly before removing the pot from heat to prevent burning.
- Prepare Honey Cinnamon Butter: In a small saucepan set on low heat, melt the unsalted butter carefully until it becomes bubbly but does not brown. Stir in the pure honey and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create a smooth, fragrant mixture.
- Toss Together: Transfer the freshly popped corn to a large mixing bowl while it is still warm. Drizzle the honey cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the popcorn, ensuring every piece is lightly coated for even flavor.
- Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the popcorn to enhance and balance the sweetness. Gently toss the mixture to combine the seasoning thoroughly without crushing the popcorn.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop the coated popcorn into bowls or snack bags. Settle in for a deliciously sweet and spiced treat to enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh popcorn kernels for better popping results.
- Adjust the amount of honey and cinnamon to suit your taste preferences.
- For a crunchier texture, spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F (120°C) for 10 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
