Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Grease a standard muffin tin with butter or shortening. Sprinkle a small amount of cornmeal in each recess and shake to coat bottom and up the sides.
  3. 3
    Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, herbs) for the muffins together in a large bowl. Stir in parmesan cheese. In a separate bowl, mix the egg and the oil. Add the buttermilk and stir until combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Mix together with a few swift strokes. Do not overmix.
  4. 4
    Mix marinara sauce and mozzarella for filling.
  5. 5
    In a separate bowl, mix marinara sauce and parmesan cheese for topping.
  6. 6
    Divide half the batter among the muffin tins. Put one teaspoon of filling in the center of each muffin, then top with remaining batter. Put a scant tablespoon of topping mixture on the top of each muffin. Optionally, top with a small amount of your favorite pizza toppings such as chopped pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, peppers, etc. Additional cheese is not recommended as it burns easily.
