Iced coffee that tastes like pancakes? Sign me up!
The butter goes straight into the hot espresso, before the ice or milk gets anywhere near it. Golden Brown Coffee's host wants it melted, then whisked into a foamy mixture with maple syrup and a pinch of salt. His verdict after a sip: "Ooh, pancakes."
Called the "Salty Canadian," the drink is the subject of "Iced coffee that tastes like pancakes? Sign me up!" The Short drew nearly 150,000 views before its first full day was over, roughly ten times the channel's usual first-day audience for the format.
It's a quick recipe with a specific order: melt the butter in a double shot, add the syrup and salt, and use an electric milk frother to combine them. Only then does the espresso mixture go over a cup filled with ice and milk. No actual pancakes are involved.
The comments have their own breakfast variations. One viewer suggests reversing the recipe by adding coffee to pancakes; another says they already make a hot version for their wife every morning. Several recognize the butter-in-coffee idea and compare it with Bulletproof coffee, while the drink's name prompts Canadian jokes.
Golden Brown Coffee has been exploring other dessert-like combinations, too. Its preceding recipe upload promised chocolate-peanut-butter-cup flavors, with homemade peanut milk requiring soaking, roasting, blending and straining. This butter-and-maple version keeps the preparation to a glass and a frother.
