Sweet pancakes

4 servings

30 minutes

Rich pancakes are a true embodiment of Russian culinary tradition dating back to ancient times. This recipe combines buckwheat and wheat flour, creating a unique flavor with a light nutty note. The use of yeast makes the dough airy and tender, while the addition of cream and whipped egg whites gives the pancakes richness and softness. These pancakes have a thin crispy crust and a porous, soft center that perfectly absorbs sour cream, jam, or honey. They were traditionally made during Maslenitsa to welcome spring with the aroma of fresh, golden pancakes. Today they can be served for breakfast or as treats for guests, filling the home with warmth and coziness.
