Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, + 1 paper bag
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Additional salt, to taste

Instruction

  • Add popcorn kernels to paper bag, fold over top twice, and microwave on high for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Stop the microwave when the popping slows to one to two pops per second. Add popcorn to a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Continue cooking until butter is no longer foaming and turns a medium brown (tilt the pan occasionally to check color). Reduce heat to medium and stir in salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper.
  • Pour butter over popcorn and toss to coat. Sprinkle with additional salt, to taste.
  • Enjoy!
