Put 1/2 teaspoons butter in each well of a filled-pancake pan. Set over medium heat and heat until the butter begins to bubble. Pour 1 Tbs. batter into each well. Put 1/2 teaspoons lemon-mascarpone filling into the center of each pancake and top with 1 Tbs. batter. Cook until the bottoms are golden and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Using 2 skewers, flip the pancakes over and cook until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
