11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or neutral oil, for greasing the pan

12 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
13 - 1 tablespoon milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder (optional, for glaze)

16 - 16 lollipop sticks
# Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the egg thoroughly. Stir in the whole milk, cooled strong coffee, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter, whisking until uniform.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just incorporated; avoid overmixing for optimal texture.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease using unsalted butter or neutral oil.
05 - Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the skillet for each pancake pop. Immediately insert a lollipop stick into the center of each portion.
06 - Allow pancakes to cook until bubbles appear and edges begin to set, approximately 1–2 minutes. Turn carefully and continue cooking for another minute until golden brown.
07 - Transfer cooked pancake pops to a wire rack to cool slightly before glazing.
08 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and instant coffee powder if desired, until a smooth glaze forms.
09 - Dip the top portion of each cooled pancake pop into the glaze, then immediately adorn with colorful sprinkles.
10 - Allow decorated pops to set for several minutes before serving.
