INGREDIENTS
| 8 | cups air-popped popcorn (about 1/3 cup kernels) |
| 2 | tablespoons honey |
| 4 | teaspoons butter |
| 1/4 | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray jelly-roll pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place popcorn in large bowl.
- Stir honey, butter and cinnamon in small saucepan over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth; immediately pour over popcorn. Toss with spoon to coat evenly. Pour onto prepared pan; bake 12 to 14 minutes or until coating is golden brown and appears crackled, stirring twice. Let cool on pan 5 minutes. (As popcorn cools, coating becomes crisp. If not crisp enough, or if popcorn softens upon standing, return to oven and heat 5 to 8 minutes.)
Italian Popcorn
Spray 8 cups of air-popped popcorn with fat-free butter-flavored spray to coat. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves. Gently toss to coat. Makes 4 servings.
Cajun Popcorn
Preheat oven and prepare jelly-roll pan as directed above. Combine 7 teaspoons honey, 4 teaspoons butter and 1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning in small saucepan. Proceed with recipe as directed above. Makes 4 servings.
