I made these for Father’s Day (yes I am so far behind on blogging them) and they were a hit. My Sister in law who is the Pickiest eater I know even liked them, So you know they are good! When I found this recipe I didn’t even know they made mini Pepperonis! So when I saw this recipe I had to find them, and I did! I also made these for 4th of July and for a BBQ and everytime they are all eaten!
The more times I have made these the more things I add to them. Try adding 1/2 an onion, chopped and Pancetta, and Garlic salt and oh man, they are EVEN better!
Recipe (Adapted from http://gimmesomeoven.com/)
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 3/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 4 oz. pepperoni, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought) (I made homemade of course)
- 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely diced.
Preheat oven to 375o. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and oregano; 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.
Warm the pizza sauce, then stir in 1 tablespoon basil. Sprinkle the puffs with the remaining 1 tablespoon basil. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.
