American-style pancakes vs. Russian 'blini'
Hi! Today we will check two recipes of pancakes from two countries that are far away from the Mediterranean Sea - USA and Russia. I mean the recipes of very popular dessert, pancakes! Everybody knows how American-style pancakes look like - small, thick, cooked with minimum veg oil and served with jam or nutella one above the others. Russian 'blini' look more like Breton crepes, they are big, thin, cooked in a pan with a lot of oil. They have neutral taste and can be served with sour or sweet filling. The most favourite ones in Russia are jam from various berries or plain yogurt. You can also close them as an envelope, put inside cooked minced meat or cottage cheese with an egg, and put in a freezer. It is very delicuous and easy-to-make snack!
