13 - 1 tablespoon milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder, optional, for glaze
15 - Colorful sprinkles
16 - 16 lollipop sticks
# Directions:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in whole milk, cooled coffee, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain pancake tenderness.
04 - Set a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly coat with unsalted butter or neutral oil.
05 - Drop approximately 1 tablespoon of batter onto the preheated surface for each pancake. Immediately insert a lollipop stick into the center of each portion.
06 - Allow pancakes to cook until surface bubbles form and edges begin to set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip gently and continue cooking for 1 additional minute, until golden brown.
07 - Transfer pancake pops to a wire rack and let them cool slightly before decorating.
08 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and instant coffee powder (if using) until a smooth glaze forms.
09 - Dip the tops of each pancake pop into the glaze, then immediately garnish with colorful sprinkles.
10 - Allow decorated pops to set for a few minutes before presenting for enjoyment.
