Ingredients

– 1 cup flour

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1 teaspoon dried basil

– 1 teaspoon dried oregano

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1 large egg

– 1 1/3 cup milk (skim, 2%, or whole)

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 1/2 cup diced pepperoni

– 1/2 cup diced salami

– 1/2 cup pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

1-Preparing the Batter: First, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, dried basil, and dried oregano. Next, beat the egg and add it along with the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is mixed well. Then, fold in the diced pepperoni, salami, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the batter.

2-Resting the Mixture: Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to help it come together nicely.

3-Baking: After that, spray a mini or regular muffin tin with non-stick spray and spoon the batter into the cups. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until browned, checking around 15 minutes to avoid overcooking. Once done, serve them warm with the pizza sauce for dipping.
