Pizza Puffs

I had been wanting to try out a recipe I saw on Noble Pig (a wine and gourmet food blog I stumbled upon) for quite some time. My fried Amber's housewarming party seemed like a great opportunity to make them! So I quadrupled the recipe, used a big muffin pan instead of a mini one, and made both pepperoni and cheese. It was very easy and pretty delicious.

This is the recipe for 12 normal size puffs:

1-1/2 cup flour
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 cup whole milk
2 eggs
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup) (I used provelone)
8 ounces pepperoni, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup)
1 cup pizza sauce
4 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

1) Pre-heat oven to 375 and grease muffin pan.

2) Mix flour and baking powder in large bowl.
3) Add milk, eggs, cheese, and pepperoni. Let stand for 10 minutes.
4) Pour into muffin pan, then bake until puffed and golden. This should be 20-25 minutes.
5) Warm pizza sauce in microwave. Sprinkle puffs with basil and serve with sauce.
There you have it. Simple and delicious! Great for a party or just a snack.
