- Heat the oil in a large, lidded, heavy-based saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the popcorn and toss in the oil. Cover, keeping the lid on while the kernels pop. After 1-2 mins, give the pan a shake over the heat and continue cooking until all the corn has popped. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat. Add the sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt; increase the heat to medium and stir for 4-5 mins until the sugar has dissolved. Reserving a pinch to garnish, stir in the orange zest and pour over the popcorn, evenly coating in the spiced butter. Serve while warm with an extra sprinkle of orange zest.
