Recipe: Mozzarella Cheese Puffs

Mozzarella Cheese Puffs
From: Louise Gray

This is a favorite appetizer that I serve when I am having company. It is very easy to make and there are a lot of variations that you can do with this.

1 cup flour, sifted
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/2 cup butter or margarine
6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Sift the dry ingredients together. Cream the butter and the cheese. Add the
dry ingredients and mix well. Shape the mixture into small balls about 1" in
diameter. Place them on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake them for
about 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Note: I just throw all the ingredients in my Kitchen-Aide mixer and when the ingredients form a clump of dough, then I form the balls. I also substitute different cheeses. I might use cheddar with chopped walnuts or provolone, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil.. Just use your imagination.
