Notes
- If you don't have a candy or deep fry thermometer you can heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil gets hot, drop a kernel of popcorn in the pot. If the kernel pops, then you will know the oil is the right temperature, 350°F.
- To make a sugar free cinnamon topping replace granulated sugar with a sugar free alternative like Swerve or monk fruit.
