Blini (Russian Pancakes)

Widely popular Russian dish, especially eaten for a breakfast in Russia. All kinds of fillings are possible sweet or savory.  Pancakes with jam, pancakes with mushrooms, pancakes with caviar, and many others.

Blini are as Russian as vodka, a pillar of Russian cuisine (a generous term) found everywhere from street stalls to Moscow's poshest restaurants.
