Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Small Pot
  • Large Stock Pot

Ingredients
 
 

  • 57 grams coconut oil
  • 142 grams popcorn kernels
  • 57 grams salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot add the coconut oil and 3 corn kernels, cover with a lid and put over medium heat. Once all kernels have popped, remove popped kernels and add all remaining corn kernels and cover with a lid.
  • Intermittently, gently swirl around the kernels in the pot. Once kernels start to pop, shake the pot frequently so popped kernels rise to the top. When popping slows to 1 second between pops, remove pot from heat and remove lid.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Melt until completely melted. Stir the butter to ensure even cooking. Continue to cook until the butter turns from bright yellow to golden brown and the milk solids are toasted. Immediately remove from the heat.
  • Pour the butter over the popped corn and add the pumpkin spice and sea salt. Add the lid and shake to coat completely.

Tips
  • If you’re new to making brown butter, check out my post How to Make Brown Butter for a full tutorial.
  • I use my Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix, but you can use store bought too.
  • Homemade popcorn is best eaten right away as it can go stale. But if you’re going to store it, be sure to put in an airtight container.
