Ingredients

Spiced salt

Method

Main

1.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Test oil temperature by dropping a couple of corn kernels into oil; if the kernels spin, the oil is hot enough. Add corn, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook, shaking pan occasionally as corn starts to pop, until all corn is popped (4-5 minutes), then tip onto a metal tray and set aside (discard any unpopped corn).
2.For spiced salt, dry-roast spices until fragrant (30 seconds), combine in a bowl with sugar and 3 tsp sea salt flakes and set aside.
3.Stir sugar and 60ml water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil. Add maple syrup and cook until dark caramel (5-6 minutes). Remove from heat, add butter and stir until combined. Add popcorn, stir with a lightly oiled spoon to coat, spread on a tray lined with lightly buttered baking paper and stand until cooled. Break into clusters and serve scattered with spiced salt.
