Popcorn Czar Cinnamon Sugar

Sweet cinnamon sugar with vanilla, a touch of salt and subtle nutmeg-cardamom warmth.

This is a cinnamon-sugar-style seasoning for a light dusted snack, not a cooked candy shell. Keep the popcorn warm and lightly coated with fat, then toss in stages. A thick dry layer can feel powdery, so aim for even coverage rather than maximum sweetness.

Fresh popcorn, churro-style snacks, toast, fruit, cereal, ice cream and dessert toppings.

For popcorn, start with 1 teaspoon per 4 cups popped corn.

1. Start with 4 cups of plain, warm popped corn.
2. Toss with just enough unsalted butter or neutral oil for a light surface coating.
3. Add the starting amount of seasoning in two stages, tossing between additions.
4. Taste several pieces before increasing the dose. Add plain popcorn if the coating is too strong.

Makes about 12 cups, serves 4. Heat 2 tablespoons neutral oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a large lidded pot over medium-high heat. When they pop, add 1/2 cup kernels, cover and shake often, keeping the lid slightly ajar to vent steam. Take the pot off the heat when the pops slow to 2-3 seconds apart, about 3-4 minutes.

Tip the popcorn into a large bowl, leaving unpopped kernels behind. Drizzle 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter over the warm popcorn while tossing. Sprinkle on 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning and toss, then add another 1 1/2 teaspoons (1 tablespoon in all) and toss again, aiming for an even, light dusting. Spread on 1 or 2 sheet pans for about 5 minutes so the coating sets, then taste and serve. Add more only a pinch at a time.
