3 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 eggs

Flapjacks
-
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and buttermilk together with a whisk.
Stir in the melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold the ingredients together with a spoon. Do not over mix!
The batter should still have lumps.
To cook the flapjacks, heat a heavy bottomed pan over a medium to low heat and add one large serving spoon of batter.
Cook the flapjack for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles begin to form on top. Flip the flapjack and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with the berry compote.
Berry Compote
-
Wash the blueberries and add them to a medium size pot over a medium to high heat.
Add the sugar and a tablespoon of water.
Cook for about 10 minutes, then turn the heat down and add the sliced strawberries. Mix the cornstarch with enough water to make a liquid and stir into the berry mixture, gently stirring until the juices thicken slightly and the mixture just comes to a boil, about 2 minutes.
Allow to cool before serving.
