Popcorn!

Happy National Popcorn Day!

In honor of this day that is so close to my heart, I will share a few toppings that we love.

And I will make popcorn. Lots of popcorn. 🙂

The ways we love our popcorn. All are guessing 6 quarts popped (about 1/2 heaping cup of kernels) and salted popcorn. If melted butter is mentioned, it’s 2 T of salted butter.

Plain: With Kosher Salt and melted butter. About 2 tsp of Kosher salt.

BBQ: With about 1 heaping Tablespoon leftover BBQ rub and melted butter. We don’t salt this one first.

Pizza: 2 Tablespoons Parmesan or Romano, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp tomato powder (we got ours from Amazon (affiliate link))

Italian: 2 Tablespoons Parmesan or Romano, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder

Wings: Don’t butter! Mix 2T of hot sauce (like Franks or Durkee’s) with the melted butter before you pour the butter over. Add 1 T blue Cheese powder (again, from Amazon (again, affiliate link)). This powder also makes a good instant blue cheese dressing if you are desperate and don’t have the time or  ingredients to make real Blue Cheese dressing.

(Our vegetarian friends really love this one. 🙂 )

Curry: 1 tsp Curry  powder, 3/4 tsp each  tumeric and ground ginger and a pinch of cayenne

Old Bay: 2 teaspoons of Old Bay Seasoning!

 

Wet toppings:

pour on carefully or spritz onto salted popcorn

Worchestershiresauce

Malt vinegar

 

Special popcorns:

Sugar popcorn: This one you have to cook differently. Heat your oil in the popping pot with three kernels of popcorn. When the third one pops, add the 1/2 cup of popcorn and 3 Tablespoons of white sugar.  Cook as usual.  Serve as is, no butter or salt.

Happy Popcorn Day!
