# Steps to Follow:
01 -

In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, red gel food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.

04 -
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until set. Continue with remaining batter.
06 -
Mix dark cherry syrup and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined.
07 -
Thread three mini pancakes onto each skewer or cake pop stick.
08 -

09 -
Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the glazed pops while the surface is still sticky.
10 -
Arrange pancake pops on a serving platter and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For homemade dark cherry syrup, simmer 200 g pitted cherries with 65 g sugar and 60 ml water until thickened, then strain before use.
02 -
Replace pistachios with toasted almonds or omit for a nut-free option.
03 -
For extra richness, serve with whipped cream or mascarpone on the side.
04 -
Red gel food coloring offers more vibrant color than liquid alternatives.
