# Method:
01 - Whisk all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Combine whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl, then blend wet ingredients into dry just until combined.
02 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden. Repeat to make 5 pancakes. Allow to cool, then cut each pancake in half to yield 10 semi-circles.
03 - Flatten each biscuit dough round slightly. Position a churro pancake half on top, add a spoonful each of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs. Fold biscuit dough over the filling and shape into a ball or oval, inserting a popsicle stick and sealing edges well.
04 - Arrange prepared pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and flaky.
05 - Brush each warm pop with melted butter. Roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture, then coat in crushed Flamin Hot Cheetos crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
06 - Allow pops to cool slightly and serve warm for a gooey marshmallow center.
