Cornmeal Pancakes with Rasperry Compote

I haven't made pancakes from a boxed mix in years, because scratch pancakes aren't all that difficult to make. I saw this recipe on the Food Network show "The Pioneer Woman" and I loved the idea of adding cornmeal to pancake batter. Ree makes hers with a blueberry syrup. I much prefer raspberries, so I adapted that recipe to have a mound of beautiful red berries. My husband absolutely loved these pancakes. They are fluffy and tender, with a nice subtle crunch from the corn meal. The notes of vanilla adds just the right amount of sweetness. Of course, using pure maple syrup is an added bonus. This is a keeper recipe!
