In Russian cuisine what kind of food are blini?
Blini do not mention "blin" at all and only record the widespread modern regular usage of "blini" for the singular and "blinis" for the plural.Some cookbooks and restaurants use "blin" and "blintchick" as in Russian to refer to crêpes. Blintzes are apparently an offshoot (an evolved or variant form) of blini. They are thin pancakes usually made of wheat flour (not buckwheat), folded to form a casing (as for cheese or fruit) and then sautéed or baked. Blini are among the most popular and most-eaten dishes in Russia. The Old Slavic term for the Russian pancakes was probably "mlinъ," which transformed
Russian cuisine to commemorate the recently deceased. Blini can be made from wheat, buckwheat, or other grains, although wheat blini are most popular in Russia. They may be topped with butter, smetana (sour cream), fruit preserves or caviar. The word "blin" is also often used as a soft curse word, expressing frustration. Syrniki are fried curd fritters, garnished with sour cream, jam, honey or apple sauce. Vatrushka is a kind of cake with a ring of dough and tvorog (cottage cheese) in the middle, often with raisins or bits of fruit, from about five inches to two and a half feet in
