This popped sorghum is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sorghum grains
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Butter (optional, for a richer flavor)

Instructions:

  1. First, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, place a few sorghum grains in the pot. If they pop, you’re good to go!
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the rest of the sorghum grains in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid but leave it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
  3. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning, just like you would with popcorn. You’ll hear the grains popping away!
  4. When the popping slows down (about 3-5 seconds between pops), take the pot off the heat. Carefully remove the lid to avoid steam burns.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the other ingredients: granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  6. If you’d like a richer flavor, you can melt some butter and drizzle it over the popped sorghum. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Now add the cinnamon and sugar mixture, and toss thoroughly until all the popped sorghum is evenly coated.
  8. Finally, allow it to cool slightly before serving. This snack is best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.

Enjoy your delicious Cinnamon and Sugar Popped Sorghum! It’s a perfect snack for sharing or just indulging on your own – whenever sweet cravings hit, this treat will certainly satisfy!
