Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add 1 kernel to the pot and cover. When the kernel pops, pour in the remaining kernels, chili powder cumin and cayenne. Cook, covered, shaking the pan until the popping ends. Season with salt to taste and toss.

Steps:

• Put the oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a 6-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the kernels pop. Add the remaining kernels, cover, and remove from the heat for 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat; within a minute you should hear the kernels start to pop. Cook, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the popping sound slows down, about 2 minutes. Towards the end of popping, lift up the lid slightly to let out the steam to help keep the popcorn crisp. Wait 5 seconds and pour the popcorn into a large paper bag.
• Melt the butter in the popcorn saucepan and drizzle it over the popcorn. Shake the bag, then add the gorgonzola powder, salt, pepper and hickory smoke powder. Shake the bag once more to coat all the kernels.

Steps:

• To make the spice mix, stir together salt and spices in a sealable plastic bag. Store up to 1 month.
• Pop as much corn as you want. While hot, mix well with melted butter (you need butter for spices to stick to corn). In a big bowl or a paper bag, sprinkle spices over buttered popcorn, using about 1 tablespoon mixture for every 4 cups popped corn. Stir or shake to coat well.

Steps:

• Place popcorn in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the butter, paprika, cumin and red pepper flakes. Pour over popcorn; toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss again.
