Preparation

Step 1

Using a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and a few kernels over medium heat. When the kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn. Cover with the lid slightly ajar to let out steam.
When the kernels start popping, shake the pot until the popping almost stops. Remove from the heat, and let the final kernels finish popping before you remove the lid. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the spices. Shake them over the popcorn, and toss thoroughly. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
