Espelette Pepper Popcorn
Discover this Espelette pepper popcorn, an irresistible homemade version combining the crunchiness of popped corn with the subtle and slightly spicy character of the famous Basque pepper, coated with a melting and fragrant butter.

Préparation
In a small bowl (Refrigerator Ramekin), mix the softened butter with Espelette pepper and salt (Fine silicone spatula).
Put the corn kernels into the WOW Popcorn maker (placing the glass tray at the bottom) without adding anything. Close it by aligning the illustrated circles on the lid with the openings on the base (this allows steam to escape).
Cook for about 3 minutes at maximum power in the microwave (up to 1000 watts). As soon as the corn kernels almost stop popping (2 seconds between each pop), stop the microwave. Depending on your microwave, the time may be shorter or longer than 3 minutes (see the user manual for more detailed instructions).
Shake the popcorn and turn the WOW Popcorn maker with the lid to remove unpopped kernels through the openings in the base.
Immediately add the butter mixture to the hot popcorn, place the lid in the closed position, and gently shake for about 30 seconds until the butter is completely melted. If the butter is not fully melted, put the WOW Popcorn maker in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds at 600 watts, then shake again.
Enjoy or store uncovered at room temperature and eat quickly.
