Seasoned Popcorn
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cups Your Favorite Popcorn Kernels
- 1 teaspoon Dried Marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoons Hot Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, To Your Taste
- 1/4 cups Unsalted, Melted Butter, To Taste
- Start by getting a large pot onto the stove, and bring it to a medium heat.
- Add in the oil and the two tablespoons of butter, and let it melt and heat up.
- After a few minutes, add just a few kernels of corn.
- Cover pot with a lid and give it a gentle shake.
- Then once the kernels pop, add in the remaining kernels.
- Cover the pot and begin shaking the pot back and forth, keeping it on the burner as you do.
- This will be your job until the popcorn is done popping.
- Midway through popping add in the marjoram, paprika and salt.
- Cover the pot and continue shaking and shaking to finish popping.
- When most of the popping subsides, its done.
- Dump the corn into a large bowl.
- Add in the melted butter and another pinch of salt, then give it a good toss.
- Taste, and season with more butter or salt if you prefer.
- The end result is a popcorn that is perfectly spiced.
- It has some spice from the hot paprika and a light oregano flavor.
- Even my pickiest eater was scraping the popcorn into the seasoning.
- The cool thing about seasoned popcorn is that you can come up with your own favorite mix of flavors.
- Try garlic, onion and lemon pepper.
- I also made this combination and well ... it was devoured.
