Step by Step Method

TO MAKE THE CREOLE-SPICED POPCORN SEASONING


Step 1

Heat clarified butter over medium heat until bubbling. Add spices and stir. Continue to heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm.

TO MAKE THE POPCORN


Step 2

Place the bacon grease, along with 3 kernels of corn, in a heavy-bottom pan. Heat at medium-high until the kernels pop, about 4 minutes. Remove popped kernels.

Step 3

Pour in the remaining popcorn and stir with a wooden spoon to coat kernels. Place a lid on the pot and continue to heat until kernels begin to pop. Turn off heat. With lid tightly secured, shake pot to ensure that all kernels pop. Continue to agitate until the popping slows, 1–2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and immediately transfer to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the Creole-Spiced butter.

Quite tasty indeed. Talk about flavor - it's packed with it. Though tea may have been more appropriate, enjoyed having this popcorn while watching the English classic "Sense and Sensibility". Who knew that by eating this popcorn made this movie a spicy experience. Yum. Thank you, Lori, for sharing.

I had to use what I had on hand (already popped popcorn and cooked bacon strips), but I loved how it came out, and the spice amounts were all spot on.

This sure makes for a different snack, hubby loved it, for me it was a little to salty. Flavors were great, but next time I'd back of the salt by half.
