Bacon fat 

Popcorn kernels

Baking soda

Cayenne pepper

Sugar

English Ale

Water

Unsalted butter

Salt

Lay bacon on ungreased rimmed sheet pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until very crisp.

INSTRUCTIONS

Once done, remove the bacon slices with tongs and spread them on a paper towel lined tray or plate. Crumble the bacon once it has cooled.

Let the remaining bacon fat cool on the rimmed sheet pan.

In a large pot with a lid, or in a popcorn popper, heat the bacon fat over medium high heat. Add the popcorn kernels to the pot, cover with the lid and cook until all kernels have popped, shaking constantly to prevent burning.

Transfer the popcorn to the prepared bowl, add the crumbled bacon and mix.
