Bliny, aka pancakes or crepes. Wrap them, roll them, fold them, fill them... and eat them! Top them with whatever you want from jam and honey to caviar.

Bliny are baked from wheat yeast dough. Each chef and housewife have their own recipe.

Bliny is an essential Russian dish. The one that always appears at Russian-themed parties or at Rus dinners & breakfasts.

There is even a whole week in late winter - early spring devoted entirely to bliny which is called Maslenitsa, or Shrovetide.

The Slavs believed that its circular shape symbolized the sun.
