Pepperoni Pizza Bites

Pepperoni Pizza Bites


Adapted from Everyday
Makes 24 (I actually got exactly 24!)

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 (I buy the 8 oz cans of pizza sauce)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil (optional)

Directions:
Preheat 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.

Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. (Watch them close. I have found that all mini muffin cups are not created equal. My new pan has smaller cups than my old one.)

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
