I'm running pdns-server, as you guessed. I only enabled recursion,

Would it be better to try to set up a recursor in front of
pdns-server, and then disable recursion on the server?
One doesn't "go in front" of the other, they are just separate.
Best practice is two separate servers:
- pdns-recursor is what your client machines use: they point to this in
their DNS server settings, e.g. /etc/resolv.conf
- pdns-server is what you host your domains on: NS records in the parent
domain point to this.
However if you're hosting your domains at cloudflare then you don't need
pdns-server - unless you're using pdns-server as a hidden primary which
cloudflare copies from? But I don't think you are, since you showed an
example where your local pdns-server had different records than cloudflare.
I don't know what your use case is. If you want a local DNS cache for
clients to point at, then pdns-recursor is what you need.
