Ingredients

  • Popcorn Dust
  • 20g (3 tbsp 2 tsp) Yogurt Powder
  • 15g (½ cup + 2 tsp) N-zorbit M
  • 25g (1 Tbsp 2 tsp) Salt, Finely Ground
  • 5g (1 ¾ tsp) Cheddar Flavor
  • 2.5g (1 tsp) Powdered Sugar
  • 4g (1 tsp) Onion Powder
  • 4g (1 tsp) MSG
  • 1g (½ tsp) White Pepper
  • 0.5g (⅛ tsp) Cayenne
  • 1g (½ tsp) Parmesan Flavor
  • 4g (1½ tsp) Lactic Acid
  • 0.75g (¼ tsp) Malic Acid
  • Popcorn
  • 90g (½ cup) White Popcorn Kernels
  • 60g (4 tbsp) Vegetable Oil
  • 60g (½ stick) Butter, Melted

Equipment

  • Spice Grinder
  • Medium-large Sized Pot
  • Wooden Spoon

Timing

Active time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 10 Minutes

Yield

4 Servings

  • Create Cheese Dust

    In a bowl dry mix all the ingredients for the popcorn dust.

    Place the popcorn dust into a spice grinder and blend for 30 seconds. Do this in two batches if it doesn’t all fit.

    Place this into an air-tight container and keep it in a cool dry place for up to a year.

  • Cook Popcorn

    In a medium large sized pot pour oil and popcorn and place it over medium high heat.

    Cover the pot and move it in a circular motion until the kernels begin to fry. Once the popping starts lower the heat to medium and continue to move the pot in a circular motion.

    Once the popping has slowed to 1-2 pops per every ten seconds remove the popcorn from the heat.

  • Dust Popcorn and Serve

    Drizzle the popcorn in melted butter and toss to coat well.

    Sprinkle ½ of the cheese dust over the popcorn and mix it up well with a wooden spoon. Taste the popcorn and add more dust to your preferred taste. Serve immediately.
