Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- Salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch chili powder
Instructions
- In a heavy pot on high heat, add the oil and 1 kernel of popcorn; then cover. When the kernel pops, add the rest of the kernels and cover. Pop while gently sliding and shaking the pot back and forth to move kernels around inside. Cook until the popping slows dramatically to 1 or 2 pops per second. Remove the popcorn from the pot and pour on top of a wire rack in a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly salt. Using the same pot, add the butter, maple syrup, cayenne, cumin, cinnamon and chili powder and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until it bubbles. Gently pour over the popcorn, allow to cool slightly, then tranfer to a bowl, toss with tongs, and serve immediately.

Reviews
Very good. Added an additional 1 oz. of maple syrup. Use real maple syrup! A real crowd pleaser.
I made without the cumin and added extra chili powder. We like it hot. The syrup I used was light I think next time I’ll use corn syrup and cinnamon oil would even be spicier. This did hit the spot thought.
Simple to make. I didn’t use maple syrup, so it was more spicy than sweet. Hit the spot though.
It’s so-so.
I’ve been searching for a good popcorn recipe and this is it!
It has a perfect balance of spicy and sweet.
