Russians' Love for Pancakes and Crepes

Russians have a deep love for pancakes and crepes, which are called Blinchiki and Crepes in Russia, respectively.

The Love for Blinchiki

Blinchiki are thin pancakes that can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, mushrooms, meat, or berries. They are typically folded or rolled up and can be enjoyed as a sweet or savory dish.

The Popularity of Crepes

Crepes are similar to Blinchiki but are usually thinner and larger in size. They are often filled with sweet fillings such as Nutella, jam, or fruit, and can also be served with savory fillings like ham and cheese.

Both Blinchiki and Crepes are versatile dishes that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. They are commonly served during Maslenitsa, a Russian festival that celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
