Where to buy Poffertje Pan

I was experimenting with different pancakes to keep things interesting for the kids when I stumbled upon a recipe for the little Dutch pancake : poffertjes. I made them in regular pans. The result wasn't as puffy and round as the online pictures but the kids inhaled them in no time. I also liked it so much that now I am looking to buy a special poffertje pan. Does anyone know if there's a place in the Bay area that sells these so I can go and pick one up? I saw a couple of places online that sells these. Anyone tried using the cast iron pan versus the nonstick pan?

    Williams-Sonoma recently was heavily advertising its æbleskiver pan, which seems to be essentially the same thing as a poffertje pan. (Æbleskiver are Danish.) Haven't tried it but noticed it was non-stick.

      The OP can save a lot of money by avoiding Williams-Sonoma and going to one of the local Japanese stores like Soko Hardware. They sell "takoyaki" pans which are exactly the same as æbleskiver pans and tons cheaper.
