Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Popping corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Buttermilk powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and 2 to 3 popcorn kernels to the pot as testers.
Once the tester kernels pop, remove them from the pot and add the remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even popping. Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk powder, dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat. Immediately sprinkle the herbed buttermilk seasoning mixture over the popcorn, tossing again to ensure even coverage.
Transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl and enjoy your Herbed Buttermilk Popcorn fresh!
