Instructions
Make the popcorn
In a 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the Tabasco sauce when the coconut oil is simmering.
Add a few kernels of popcorn to the oil, and cover the pot, moving over the heat constantly, until the popcorn pops.
When the initial kernels have popped, add the other kernels and cover. Continue the shaking movement of the pot over the heat until the kernels begin popping.
When the popping slows down, remove from the heat, but continue moving until all the pops are finished.
Let cool slightly off the heat as you make the Honey Butter.
Make the Honey Butter
Stir the melted butter, honey and Tabasco sauce together in a small bowl while the popcorn is cooling. Add the pinch of salt, and stir until smooth.
Finish the Popcorn
Drizzle the Honey Butter over the popped kernels, tossing slightly until all the popcorn is coated in the glaze.
