🇷🇺 Russia recipe
Blini
Blini are the pride of Russian festive tables, especially during Maslenitsa, the week-long celebration before Lent. These delicate yeasted pancakes made with buckwheat flour have a subtle nutty flavor and a tender, lacy texture with tiny holes that catch and hold toppings. Whether adorned with jewel-like salmon roe, silky smoked salmon, or simply sour cream, blini are an exercise in elegant simplicity.
