Method

Ingredients

1. To make the flapjacks, mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients, except the butter, in a separate bowl.

2. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until the batter comes together loosely. Add the butter and fold in gently, making sure not to overmix the batter. If the batter is too thick, fold in a bit of milk to loosen it a bit.

3. Heat a pan until very hot, add some oil and spray the pan with cooking spray. Reduce the heat to medium. This prevents the flapjacks from sticking to the pan.

4. Pour about ½ cup batter into the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

5. To make the blueberry compote, put the blueberries and honey in the pan. Heat until the blueberries burst and the mixture becomes jammy. Drizzle over the flapjacks to serve.
