So last Sunday as everyone know was the Super Bowl, and since I am a native Pittsburgher having the Steelers in the game was absolutely thrilling. I had been looking forward to this game for weeks and could not have been happier when I “Stumbled Upon” this recipe for Pizza Puffs. They were a huge hit and it is definitely necessary to double and possibly triple this recipe (depending on the rest of the snacks you are serving). We had a lot of food at the beginning of the game so I mixed my batter and saved it in the refrigerator until half time. Since the game did not end as I would have liked it was nice to have an excellent snack to warm my stomach and soul.
If you are not a fan of pepperoni I believe these would be excellent with all kinds of pizza toppings. I plan to try them with mushrooms, tomato chunks, pepper, onions, or sausage.
Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
4 ounces pepperoni, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup) – I just bought the Hormel mini pepperoni circles
1/2 cup pizza sauce
finely chopped fresh basil
Preheat oven to 375o. 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 (or refrigerate until needed).
Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
In a sauce pan heat the pizza sauce and sprinkling of basil until heated all the way through, be careful not to let it stick and burn. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.
