Stuffed pancakes are a classic dish of Russian cuisine that combines thin, delicate pancakes with hearty meat filling. The history of this recipe dates back centuries when pancakes were an integral part of Slavic celebrations and a symbol of the sun. Here they are paired with aromatic beef mince, onions, garlic, and spices to create a harmonious flavor. A light crust formed during frying adds a textural twist. These pancakes are usually served hot with a dollop of sour cream, making them even softer and juicier. They are perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table setting, delighting with their rich taste and appetizing appearance.
