Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup organic popcorn
- 3 tbsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter on low in a small pan.

- Heat a 3-quart saucepan to medium-high heat, add coconut oil.

- Once those have popped, add the rest of the kernels in an even layer.
- Remove from the heat for 30 seconds and return the pot back to the heat.
- When the popcorn starts to pop, slightly open the lid to let the steam escape and gently move the pan back and forth on the burner to prevent burning.
- Once the pops slow to a few seconds in between, remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl big enough to stir the butter on the popcorn.
- Season with spiced butter and salt.
