# Directions:
01 - Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
02 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium and lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Make 5 pancakes, let cool, then halve each to create 10 semi-circular pieces.
03 - Flatten each biscuit dough round. Place a churro pancake half on dough, top with mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs. Fold dough over filling and mold into a ball or oval, carefully inserting a popsicle stick. Seal all edges.
04 - Arrange filled pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, until golden and flaky.
05 - While hot, brush pops with melted butter. Roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture, then immediately coat in Flamin Hot Cheetos crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
06 - Allow pops to cool briefly before serving. For optimal flavor, enjoy while warm so marshmallow centers remain gooey.
