Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon sumac powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unpopped popcorn

Steps:

  • Combine butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until butter is just melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir sumac, chili powder, and salt into butter-oil mixture.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels to the oil and cover saucepan with a lid. Once the 3 kernels have popped, the oil is ready. Add the remaining popcorn, cover saucepan, and cook popcorn, shaking saucepan constantly, until you no longer hear popping. Remove saucepan from heat.
  • Transfer popcorn to a large heat-proof bowl and let sit for 2 minutes to ensure better coverage by the butter.
  • Pour half of the butter mixture in a second large bowl and swirl it around the bottom and sides; add popcorn and mix with a big spoon. Transfer the popcorn back in the first large bowl; stir again. Pour remaining half butter mixture into the second bowl and swirl around again; add the popcorn in and mix again.
