About:
I must confess, I am a popcorn fanatic. This recipe may not really be a meal or side dish, but it is yummy! It’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty. It’s a fast and tasty snack to make when you want popcorn, but you want something different.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup popcorn kernels (any brand)
2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil (any brand)
2 tablespoons honey
Cinnamon to taste
Salt to taste
Preparation:
- Spoon the coconut oil into the bottom of a large saucepan. Stir it around a bit to make sure it coats the bottom.
- Pour in the kernels. Most stove-top popcorn recipes tell you to only add 3 kernels at first and pop them, but I’m impatient and always skip that step and just dump all the kernels in there.
- Bring heat to medium-high and cover the saucepan with a lid so you don’t have to dodge popcorn shooting around your kitchen. It may take between 3-5 minutes before you hear any popping going on under there, but that’s fine. Just hang in there.
- Once it begins to pop consistently, gently shake the bottom of the saucepan with the handle to stir the kernels around a bit. I don’t actually know if this does anything, but I watched my parents do this when I was a kid, so I do this after their fashion.
- Once the popping has stopped, remove the popcorn from heat.
- Pour the popcorn into a large mixing or serving bowl. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle the cinnamon and salt to your taste (I went heavy on cinnamon and easy on salt).
- Serve and enjoy!
