Chipotle Kettle Corn
Ingredients
-
1
cup sugar
-
2
teaspoons salt
-
2
teaspoons ground cumin
-
1
teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
-
1/3
cup canola oil
-
2/3
cup popcorn kernels
Directions
1. In a small bowl combine sugar, salt, cumin and chipotle pepper. Heat the oil in an 8-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn and cook, shaking occasionally, 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture. Cover and cook, shaking often, until popcorn begins to pop. Once popcorn begins to pop, shake continuously until the popping slows.
