05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs

# Directions:

01 - Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, cooled coffee, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
03 - Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
04 - Preheat a nonstick pancake pop pan, cake pop maker, or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with unsalted butter.
05 - Drop 1 tablespoon of batter per pop onto the heated surface. Insert a wooden lollipop stick into each mound of batter before flipping.
06 - Cook each side for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing bubbles to form and edges to set. Flip gently and continue to cook until golden and cooked through.
07 - Transfer finished pops to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches as needed. Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
