Combine raspberries, sugar and vanilla extract together in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over medium heat for approximately 20 minutes. Cool completely. Compote will thicken as it cools.
Garnishes
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread almonds over parchment paper and toast until browned. 10 to 15 minutes.
Whip heavy cream with a whisk attachment on an electric stand mixer. As soon as cream becomes fluffy add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Blend together until whipped cream is thick enough to peak. Place in the refrigerator until pancakes are cooked
Pancake
Reduce the oven to 200°F and line the rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. This pan will be used to place cooked pancakes in the oven to stay warm.
In a medium-sized bowl combine the flour and salt. In a large-sized bowl whisk eggs together and then milk and cream. Gradually whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients. The batter will be thin.
Heat a 10" cast iron skillet over moderate heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the skillet and as soon as it begins to brown add 1/2 cup of the batter. Swirl the pan to thinly coat the bottom of the pan with the batter. Cook until the bottom layer is brown (2 to 4 minutes). If the butter gets dark too quickly the heat is too high. Turn the pancake and cook until bottom is browned, approximately 2 more minutes. I used a fish spatula to turn the pancake. Place cooked pancake flat on the parchment paper and keep in the oven until serving. Repeat starting with butter until pancake batter is gone
Assembly
Fold each pancake in half and then half again to form a triangle. Spoon raspberry compote over pancake followed by whipping cream and slivered almonds. Serve immediately.
Pancakes may be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days. Store raspberry compote and whipping cream separately.
Notes
Calories are based on all of the raspberries and whipped cream being used. I didn't need all of it.Pancake adapted from Food and Wine June 2017
