Cinnamon Sugar Kettle Corn

You don't have to attend a carnival or street fair to enjoy this cinnamon sweet kettle corn treat.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or table salt)

Cooking Directions:

1. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside.
   
2. In a large pot with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add popcorn kernels and cover.
3. When kernels begin popping, carefully lift lid and sprinkle in powdered sugar. Replace lid and continue cooking, shaking pot frequently, until popping begins to slow.
4. Quickly sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Replace lid and continue shaking pot until popping has almost stopped (be careful not to burn). Remove from heat.
5. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Makes 3 quarts; 12 (1 cup) servings.
