Honey offers natural sweetness with added flavor.

Start by preparing the batter. Take 60 g of water and mix it with buttermilk to bloom the yeast.

In a bowl, combine AP flour and salt, then add sugar to balance the flavors.

Weigh out 5 g of baking soda and mix it in with the dry ingredients.

Let the mixture sit and ferment for about an hour to develop flavor and activate the yeast.

In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and vegetable oil, which helps with even browning.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently, ensuring not to overmix; lumps are okay but no dry flour should remain.

Melt half a pound of butter gently, avoiding browning, and set aside.

Prepare the honey soy sauce by mixing honey, soy sauce, and a touch of water, then whisk in zanan gum to stabilize the sauce.

For the berry compote, chop strawberries to match the size of blueberries, then mix with sugar and corn starch to thicken.

Let the berry mixture sit to release juices, then cook briefly until thickened, ensuring to maintain freshness.
