Start by getting a large pot onto the stove, and bring it to a medium heat.
-
2
Add in the oil and the two tablespoons of butter, and let it melt and heat up.
-
3
After a few minutes, add just a few kernels of corn.
-
4
Cover pot with a lid and give it a gentle shake.
-
5
Then once the kernels pop, add in the remaining kernels.
-
6
Cover the pot and begin shaking the pot back and forth, keeping it on the burner as you do.
-
7
This will be your job until the popcorn is done popping.
-
8
Midway through popping add in the marjoram, paprika and salt.
-
9
Cover the pot and continue shaking and shaking to finish popping.
-
10
When most of the popping subsides, its done.
-
11
Dump the corn into a large bowl.
-
12
Add in the melted butter and another pinch of salt, then give it a good toss.
-
13
Taste, and season with more butter or salt if you prefer.
-
14
The end result is a popcorn that is perfectly spiced.
-
15
It has some spice from the hot paprika and a light oregano flavor.
-
16
Even my pickiest eater was scraping the popcorn into the seasoning.
-
17
The cool thing about seasoned popcorn is that you can come up with your own favorite mix of flavors.
-
18
Try garlic, onion and lemon pepper.

I also made this combination and well ... it was devoured.
