Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and lightly beaten egg until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and diced pepperoni, mixing gently until evenly distributed.
  • Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes to help the flavors meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
  • Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puffs are puffed up and a golden brown color.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the puffs from the muffin pan.
  • For the best results, consider experimenting with different types of cheese or additional ingredients like spices and herbs to elevate the flavor.
  • These puffs can be served warm alongside various dipping sauces, such as marinara or garlic-infused sauces, for a delightful treat. Remember, you can customize the recipe according to your taste preferences and make it your own!
