Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- a few dashes salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more if desired
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon half & half
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix butter and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, mix powdered sugar with half & half until smooth. You may have to stir in a little more half & half to get it to drizzling consistency. Set aside.
- Place oil and popcorn kernels into a large pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil.
- Place pot over high heat. Shake pot back and forth over hot burner to heat kernels evenly.
- Continue shaking the pot until the popcorn starts to pop.
- After a minute or two, the popping will slow right down and you'll have a pot full of popcorn.
- Dump the hot popcorn onto a baking sheet and drizzle with cinnamon butter immediately. Stir to coat.
- Drizzle the icing over the top and toss to coat as well.
- Serve warm, or let it cool so the icing can harden up a bit.
Notes
It’s important to keep the pot moving the entire time it’s over the heat–this ensures the kernels don’t ever burn.
