Popcorn Topping: Honey Brown Butter

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Melt the butter in a high-sided large frying pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to a toasty-brown. Once you smell that nutty aroma, immediately take the pan off the heat and scrape the browned butter, including any browned bits, into a heatproof bowl.

Add the honey and salt, stirring continuously until all are thoroughly combined. Drizzle over a bowl of popped corn and stir until well-coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep your napkins handy! This topping makes popcorn that has the sweetness of a light caramel corn ...with all the buttery goodness of your favorite movie bucket.

This recipe is just right for 1/2 - 3/4 cup of popcorn kernels.
