Cook Time:

Ingredients
- 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour (OR substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for 1 cup all-purpose)
- 1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope yeast, rapid or quick rise
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/4 cups very warm water (120 to 130F)*
- 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup minced celery
- 2-1/2 cups quartered fully cooked, frozen Buffalo style boneless chicken nuggets
- For Dipping (optional):
- Ranch OR blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Step 1) Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in large mixer bowl. Add water and oil; beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add remaining 1-1/4 cups flour to make a stiff yet sticky dough. Stir in blue cheese, celery and chicken. Cover bowl and let rest 10 minutes.
- Step 2) Portion dough into 12 (2-1/2 inch) generously greased muffin cups using a scoop or two spoons (do not use paper liners). Cover and let rise 35 to 45 minutes. Dough will rise, but will not double in size.
- Step 3) Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes until well browned. Let cool on wire rack for 2 minutes. Run a knife around each roll to remove from pan. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese salad dressing for dipping. Refrigerate any leftovers.
- Freezer Instructions: Completely cool fluffins and place in an airtight container to freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator. Microwave for 15 to 20 seconds and serve immediately.
