Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 cup melted butter.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter. You can do this in the microwave by heating it in short intervals, or on the stove over low heat. Ensure the butter is completely melted but not browned.
- Once the butter is melted, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredient mixture. Stir thoroughly until the dry ingredients are fully coated with the butter, creating a paste-like consistency.
- Prepare your popcorn. If you haven't already, pop about 8 cups of popcorn using your preferred method (air popper, stovetop, or microwave). Ensure the popcorn is light and fluffy.
- In a large bowl, combine the freshly popped popcorn with the sugar and spice mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed over the popcorn.
- Once the popcorn is well coated, serve immediately in individual bowls or store in an airtight container if not consuming right away.
- Enjoy your delicious Sugar and Spice Popcorn as a sweet and flavorful snack!
Tips
- Use Fresh Popcorn: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly popped popcorn. Air-popped or stovetop popcorn works great, as it tends to be lighter and fluffier than microwave popcorn.
- Customize Your Spice: Feel free to experiment with the spices! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or try incorporating vanilla extract for a unique flavor profile.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the sugar and spice mixture is evenly coated on the popcorn. Toss gently but thoroughly to avoid breaking the popcorn while achieving maximum flavor.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve your Sugar and Spice Popcorn right after mixing. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
- Perfect for Gifting: Package your seasoned popcorn in decorative bags or jars for a thoughtful homemade gift that friends and family will love!
