Thin air pancakes with butter are a true symbol of Russian cuisine, carrying the warmth of home. This recipe, rooted in ancient traditions, is perfect for a family breakfast or cozy tea time. Delicate, thin, and aromatic, they have a light texture thanks to whipped eggs and carefully prepared dough. The melted butter on a hot pancake gives it special softness and rich flavor. These pancakes are versatile – they are great with jam, honey or sour cream as well as on their own. The taste of these pancakes is a harmony of sweet dairy notes and thin dough with a light crispy crust. They are not just food – they are part of history that creates an atmosphere of comfort and hospitality.
