Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

Recipe from Cathy over at Noblepig.com.

I made these for Daughter #2 and 6 of her closest friends tonight as they worked on their team t-shirts for track.  They received a 'thumbs up' from the girls.  I thought they were pretty good even though I made them with whole wheat flour (we were out of regular).  I think they would be even better with white flour.  We will definitely try these again.

PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS

INGREDIENTS
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)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Preheat oven to 375 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.

Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through, then stir in 1 Tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 Tablespoon basil. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!
