OK...I know I've been cranking out appetizers, but I love appetizers. I love just making a couple different appetizers for dinner some nights. And these are Awesome! I mean you really can't stop popping these in your mouth! They really do taste like little mini pizzas...and they are really quite easy to whip up. Trust me you really need to make these...Tonight!
And yes we really are baking from scratch...No mixes or crescent rolls involved today! But they are really simple...even the kids could help making these.
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
adapted from Everyday with Rachel Ray April 2010
3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
4 oz pepperoni stick, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
