Baking pancakes is our Russian tradition, and it is worth remembering not only on Maslenitsa. And if you want to have a real feast, then you can depict a whole pancake cake. With thin layers of pancakes, which here act as orzhey , and fluffy sour cream. For a complete impression, it is better to use bright berries to break up the white monochrome of the cake, you can also use frozen ones - but then be sure to defrost them first and drain the excess juice, so that instead of festive decor you do not get a tasty, but sloppy jelly.
