"I'll huff.. and I'll PUFF.."

Pepperoni Pizza PUFFS

(or any type of pizza.. let your creativity shine!)

3/4 cup flour

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

3/4 cup milk (I use skim)

1 egg, lightly beaten

4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)

4 oz. pepperoni, diced (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup pizza sauce

2 Tbsp. fresh basil

Preheat oven to 375^o.  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.

These are perfect little snack poppers (or puffers.. haha) or theyre a great party food.

ENJOY!
