Its Sunday afternoon, you don’t really want to cook, but don’t really want to snack. What do you do? Well this is what we did! We wanted pizza but we wanted snackie finger foods .. Pepperoni Pizza Puffs are the perfect thing! Easy to make, quick to cook, and taste great. Everyone in your house will love them! I added Sausage to mine as we had leftover chunks in the fridge from a dish a day earlier!

• 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 store-bought pizza sauce
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°. 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.
2. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, 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 and red pepper slices with the pizza sauce for dipping.

4. 

Quick and easy. Sure to be a crowd pleaser whether you make them for a party or just for your family!
