I already found one of the Pancake Puff pans in the thrift store! But; no recipes! Anyone have any they care to share? I went to the official site and you are supposed to be able to view the recipe book, but I can't get it to ever open so if you have any to share I would appreciate it.

Actually I didn't see any of them looking for I'm sorry ,but all I saw was puff pancakes recipes. The recipes I'm looking for is for a cast iron pan that has 7 individual "wells" in it for the batter. After they are baked you can fill the little cakes with different fillings.

The Pancake Puff Pan™
Thank you for the purchase of the Pancake Puff Pan™. We have included this recipe booklet with some of our favorite recipes and garnishing ideas to help you create the perfect pancake puffs. Please feel free to experiment with your own creations. The creative cooking possibilities for your Pancake Puff Pan™ are endless.
Getting Started
First thing you should do is give it a good wash in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Your new Pancake Puff Pan$trade; has a non-stick surface. You do not need to cure the pan but we recommend pre-heating the pan and coat it with any vegetable oil as you would a traditional cast iron pan. Make very sure you do not over heat the pan or you will ruin the non-stick surface. You are now ready to make delicious pancake puffs.
Prepare one of your favorite recipes from the following pages, or if you are using a store purchased batter, prepare the batter for cooking. Follow the instructions on the batter package.
Use a low to medium heat when making pancake puffs, or they will turn dark before cooking on the inside.
You may use butter, oil or margarine to coat the wells before pouring in the batter, or for a low fat way to cook pancake puffs just pour batter into the wells without using any of the above.
When the oil in the pan is just starting to get hot, test by putting a little bit of batter into the wells. If it bubbles, it is ready to bake.
Fill the wells 3/4 full and let cook. Use the supplied wooden flipping sticks to turn the puffs over. You will know they are ready to turn when the underside is a golden brown color.
After you are finished baking, I recommend using a paper towel to wipe the wells dry. The pan should wipe clean and dry. Since the Pancake Puff Pan™ is made from durable cast iron; wash with clear water only as necessary. Less water helps in long term curing. Occasionally you may need to do a more thorough cleaning with mild dish soap and water, but always coat pan with cooking oil after washing.
You will be a hit at your party, when you serve up these delicious pancake puffs, and your guests will love you for it.
Now go and have some fun!!
