PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS
These little Pepperoni Pizza Puffs are so easy to make and you probably already have the ingredients on hand. I suppose you could also call these Pizza Biscuits. As long as you call them good, I don't suppose it really matters what they are named. This is a delicious little snack or appetizer that will only take you minutes to whip up.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS APPETIZER/SNACK:
- You can also spice it up a bit and add in some red pepper flakes.
- You can also add in cooked and crumbled sausage. Or even diced green or red peppers.
- This recipe calls for ½ tbsp. to 1 tbsp. Italian Seasoning. I use a full tablespoon but I have learned since first posting this recipe that not all Italian Seasonings are created equal and some tend to be more stronger in flavor than others. So, please use your judgement on this one and use the amount you think your family can tolerate.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
all-purpose flour
baking powder
Italian Seasoning
salt
milk
egg
shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni
pizza sauce, for dipping
baking powder
Italian Seasoning
salt
milk
egg
shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni
pizza sauce, for dipping
HOW TO MAKE PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS:
These are made using mini muffin tins. You should get at least 24 Pizza Puffs from this recipe. Now, from what I understand, not all mini muffin tins are made the same. Some seem to be a bit bigger than others. This recipe works perfectly for both of my 12-mini muffin tins. Spray your muffin tins really well using non-stick cooking spray. Get the inside and sides of them good so they don't stick.
Chop up your pepperoni into smaller bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt.
Stir in milk.
Then add in the egg. Make sure you beat the egg before adding to the bowl. This just helps to better incorporate the egg into the mixture.
Stir well.
Add in shredded cheese,
and diced pepperoni.
If you want to add a little kick, add in a teaspoon of crushed red pepper (optional). Let mixture sit for 10 minutes. While you're waiting, you can start preheating your oven to 375F degrees.
Spoon mixture into muffin tins.
I like to use this spring-release cookie scoop but spoons work just fine.
Bake at 375F degrees for about 20-25 minutes (until golden brown.) If you aren't sure if they are done, stick a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, they are good to go.
Serve with some of your favorite pizza or marinara sauce.
Enjoy!

Notes
If you aren't sure if they are done, stick a toothpick into the center of one of them.
If it comes out clean, they are good to go. You may have to take a butter knife and run it around the inside edges of the muffin tins to pop them loose.

I don't have mini muffin pan....:-/ (yet)....
🙂
Just use your regular size muffin tin but only put the same amount of filling in as you would the mini. They will be larger in circumference but flatter so they'll look more like a pizza and probably a little easier to dip 🙂 I have two mini muffin pans but I never use them; I prefer the regular size. Hope this helps.
Those look incredible!
what degrees do we cook them on ?
Anonymous - 375f degrees. 🙂
I have actually used Bisquick mix instead of the flour and baking soda and salt...turns out great!!!
Great idea Suzanne! I always have Bisquick on hand! 🙂
Haha! I was thinking I'm glad this is not made with Bisquick. I often don't have it on hand, but always have flour. I think I'll try this with Jimmy Dean sausage.
These look like a very fun meal! My kids will probably really enjoy these...
Is there anyway to just use actual refrigerated biscuit dough or crescents?
This looks like the perfect recipe for my Middle School Students to make in class!
I've never attempted to make anything that consisted with flour. But this seems rather simple. I plan on making this for my kids. (OK, OK, for me too) Also just wanted to say, keep up with the simple recipes. I've become a huge fan of this website. ♥
Do you know if these freeze well? I would love to make them for an after school snack.
Another recipe that was similar suggested freezing cooked puffs in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook frozen puffs 8-10 mins at 375.
I just found your blog today and made the Lazy Cookie Bars! They were pretty good. I may end up making these for lunch lol!
I tried making these this morning and they game out with a very eggy texture. Any idea what I could have done wrong? They were delicious but the texture was starting to get to me as I don't eat eggs.
