I love jalapeño cheddar popcorn, but I only knew of one place to find it fresh in Memphis. Since we moved away from Memphis, I decided to make a version myself. After comparing internet recipes and making afternoon snack popcorn about 50 times, the following is the version we like to eat.
Ingredients:
Full disclosure, I do not actually measure when I make it. I just estimate. These are rough amounts that can be altered to taste.
About 1/3 cup popcorn kernals
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp jalapeño powder (I use Barry Farm)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cheddar cheese powder (I use Anthony's)
3 Tbsp butter, melted
Air pop your popcorn. Pour into a big bowl that has a lid.
Sprinkle on mustard powder, jalapeño powder, salt, and cheddar cheese powder.
Pour the butter over, and close the lid. Shake it until your arms start to fatigue. lolz.
Our kiddos love this popcorn snack. "More popcorn please, Mama."
God bless you and your food!
