Pancake puff pans

[TheBYUGuy]

Do any of you have a pancake puff pan? I want to get one as a Christmas gift to be used in our house, but I want to get the right one.

I'm looking at one on Amazon.com that is less expensive than others, but still has decent reviews. The main difference is that this one looks more compact, but the pancake puffs look roughly the same size.



I don't know a lot about these yet. Any general or specific information about pancake puffs or their pans are appreciated.

Just so that you don't get made fun of by my fellow foodies on here, that is called an Ebelskiver pan.

If you do a google search your world will be flipped upside down.

The best I have ever had had a smalle piece of banana in each one. With a dip in maple syrup/powdered shuga!

Yum.

How much traction did you expect it to get?

How much traction did you expect it to get?

I was hoping for 10 posts. 10 posts is solid traction. That thread got poor traction.

Really I only wanted you to respond, but you never did

Thanks for the link. I've never had "pancake balls", as Junior calls them, and I admit that I'm a rookie in the arena. I didn't even know it was called an Aebleskiver pan until I started looking them up a few days ago. I think we'll probably call them pancake balls instead of trying to force my kids to say something that none of us really know how to say.

Aebelskivers (or the anglicized ebelskiver) are awesome. I have never attempted my hand at making them, but there's a breakfast place in my home town I always get them. They stuff them with sausage and havarti cheese. Yuuuuuum.

I received two aebleskiver pans for Christmas last year. One was the cheap "as seen on tv" pan and the other from Williams Sonoma. The one from Williams Sonoma is much heavier and seems to cook more even. Neither are cast iron like the one posted.
