Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

I discovered Pinterest about 8-9 months ago and stayed up till 3 or so in the morning pinning anything and everything that I might want to do someday. And that is how it was for the first couple months of my experience with Pinterest just pinning pinning pinning. Around January/February last year it dawned on me that it was a major time consumption and simply stupid of me to just pin these things and never get around to doing them. So then I started trying the projects, in the future, I will go over and include the tutorials of my various projects but today I'm going to share just the recipe that we tried last night.. ohh it was so good! And super easy. Here it is:

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

What you'll need:

• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1Tbsp Italian seasoning
• pinch of salt
• pinch of red pepper flakes (I didn't add this because my mouth burns at just the pepperoni!)
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chopped pepperoni (cut pepperonis into quarters)
• 1/2 pizza sauce 

What to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin pan (mini or regular size).  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt, & red pepper flakes; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, parmesan and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.

2. Stir the batter and divide among the muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden - approx 20-25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with pizza sauce for dipping.


This just might be a regular in our house. Much better than frozen pizza! Oh yum.. I think I'll go warm up some of the leftovers!
