# Components:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2/3 cup whole milk
08 - 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
09 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ For Cooking and Finishing

11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing pan
12 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, optional, for dusting
13 - 16–20 wooden lollipop sticks

# Directions:

01 - Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add whole milk, cooled brewed coffee, melted unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract; whisk until homogenous.
03 - Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients gradually, blending just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing; a slightly lumpy texture is ideal.
04 - Heat nonstick pancake pop pan, cake pop maker, or skillet over medium-low. Lightly grease with unsalted butter.
05 - Deposit 1 tablespoon batter per pop onto prepared surface. Insert a wooden lollipop stick into each portion before turning.
06 - Allow pops to cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear and edges set. Flip carefully; cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden and fully set.
07 - Transfer cooked pops to a plate. Continue process with remaining batter, regreasing the pan as necessary.
08 - Allow pops to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve while warm.
