Grandma's Russian Pancakes are a traditional Russian breakfast dish. They are also known as blini or crepes. These thin pancakes are much thinner than American pancakes and have a light and airy texture. They can be served with butter, jam, honey, sour cream, or caviar. Russian pancakes are a popular dish in Russia and neighboring countries. They are often served during Maslenitsa, a Russian festival that celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. During this festival, families and friends gather together to share pancakes, dance, and have fun.
