Stonewall Kitchen Pancake Puff Maker - Cake Pop Maker Reviewed

Cake pops have been around for a long time, but I never considered making them with pancake batter and filling them with jam until I discovered the Stonewall Kitchen Pancake Puff Maker.  By naming it a puff maker, instead of a cake pop maker, the maker grabbed my attention while Christmas shopping this past year.  I purchased one for myself and one for all of my siblings.  

My sister-in-law in North Carolina was the first to try out her Christmas gift.  That may be because she opened it as soon as it arrived, plus she loves to cook.  Like me, she loves new kitchen gadgets.  Since she had a Christmas luncheon to attend the following day, she perused the included cookbook, and selected a recipe to try the following day.  She made several batches for the party.  She used the vanilla cake recipe in the cookbook but decorated the batches with different toppings.  She covered some with a chocolate glaze (recipe also included in the cookbook) and decorated them with sprinkles.  She put confectioners sugar on some and cinnamon sugar on another batch.  Not only did she report that they were fun and easy to make, but the guests loved them.  I did laugh when she told me that she had to beg to snatch a few for my brother since she neglected to leave some behind at home for him.  By the way, my sister-in-law calls the puff maker her donut hole maker since the vanilla puffs with glaze that she made looks and tastes like donut holes. 

I waited for my "now experienced puff maker" sister-in-law to come for a visit before New Years to try my new puff maker.  I wanted to make the pancake puffs for breakfast and she was more than willing to jump right in and "play".  We made some plain pancake puffs to cover with pancake syrup and we filled some with jam.  They were delicious!  

Since we used teaspoons to put the batter and the filling in the maker reservoirs, I went in search of a batter dispenser and jelly dispensers so I could work faster.  The batter starts cooking as soon as it hits the maker reservoirs which caused some of our puffs to brown more on the bottom.  They didn't burn, but being able to work faster with less mess around the edges of the reservoir cups appealed to me. 

My Pancake Puffs filled with Blueberry Jam are not as pretty as the puffs on the front of the box, but they were quite tasty!

The Stonewall Kitchen Pancake Puff Maker

Along with the pancake puff maker, I included a can of the Stonewall Kitchen Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix and a jar of the Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam.  We have previously used the pancake mix and the blueberry jam, so I was confident that those products would be excellent choices for making the puffs.  Those are the products I used when making the pancake puffs featured above.

• When ready light is green, fill puff maker reservoirs*

* If you want to bake filled puffs, add batter, then jam or filling and top with more batter.  Each section should be approximately 1/3 of the reservoir.  Try not to overfill the reservoirs.

By the way, none of my puffs looked like the ones on the box.  The bottoms of mine were all browner than the tops.  It doesn't matter to me, but I wouldn't want to mislead our readers.
