Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly cracked
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for popping)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot on medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Place 2-3 popcorn kernels into the pot and cover with a lid to test the oil temperature.
Step 2
Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer. Cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to release steam, and shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3
Continue cooking until the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops. Remove the pot from heat, keeping the lid on, and let it sit for 30 seconds to catch any final pops.
Step 4
While the popcorn pops, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, cracked black pepper, and salt until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey butter mixture over the popcorn, tossing to evenly coat all kernels.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly made Cracked Pepper and Honey Butter Popcorn!
