Buttery Cinnamon Sugar Popcorn

By kayjayjohnson

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon fine grain salt (sticks better to the popcorn)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter with the oil in a large pot. Add the sugar and cook it until just very slightly golden (note: a little more and the last few corn kernels that pop will be charred. Talking from experience.)

Stir in the corn kernels and salt and make sure everything is well-combined.

Cover with a lid and cook on medium-low heat until kernels stop popping. Be sure to shake the pot once or twice to make sure the kernels are cooking evenly.

Remove from heat and immediately toss with the salt and cinnamon.
