CINNAMON-SUGAR POPCORN

I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it, however I neglected to ask her for the recipe. 10 years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories...there's enough in the butter!) I used my deep dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or any other large, deep dish pan. It makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later.

1 cup unpopped popcorn
⅓ cup butter

Tips:

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh kernels will pop better and result in fluffier popcorn.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the popcorn pop quickly and evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pot. Using too many kernels will result in unpopped kernels and a soggy mess.
Shake the pot constantly. This will help the popcorn pop evenly and prevent it from burning.
Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it stops popping. This will prevent it from burning.
Toss the popcorn with the cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately. This will help the coating stick to the popcorn.
Enjoy the popcorn immediately. Cinnamon-sugar popcorn is best when it's fresh and warm.
