Method

Wash the berries

Rinse the Mixed Berries gently under cool water, then spread them out and pat them dry well. A quick rinse is enough; soaking soft berries can make the topping watery.

Prep the berries

If any berries are larger than blueberries, cut them into blueberry-size pieces on a board. Keep the pieces fairly even so they soften at the same rate.

Toss the berries

Move the berries to a small bowl and toss them with Sugar and Cornstarch until lightly coated. Set the bowl aside so the juices can turn glossy while you finish the rest.

Whip the butter

In another bowl, beat the room-temperature Butter with Maple Syrup, Honey, and Salt until smooth and fluffy. Scrape the bowl once or twice so there are no streaks left.

Make the syrup

Set a small saucepan over low heat and melt the butter. Whisk in the maple syrup, honey, a pinch of salt, and Soy Sauce, then simmer 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce looks glossy and lightly thickened.

Mix the batter

In a large bowl, whisk together Flour, Baking Soda, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the Eggs with the Neutral Oil, then stir in the Pre-Ferment. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until no dry flour remains; don't overmix or the pancakes will turn dense.

Heat the skillet

Warm a large skillet over medium heat. If the surface looks dry, wipe on a thin film of the neutral oil, then let it get hot enough that the batter sizzles as soon as it lands.

Cook the pancakes

Scoop the batter onto the hot skillet in about 1/4-cup portions, leaving room for spreading. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles break on top and the edges look set, flip, then cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until both sides are deeply golden and the centers spring back lightly. Transfer finished pancakes to plates and keep going with the remaining batter.

Assemble and serve

Stack the pancakes on plates, spoon over the warm syrup, add a generous dollop of maple honey butter, and finish with the berry mixture. Serve right away while the butter melts into the cracks.
