These delicious pancakes filled with sweet cottage cheese and raisins can make a light dessert or perfect breakfast. These russian blini recipe is ideal for a big family and also if you want to make food ahead of time. Those golden little sun-like russian crepes or pancakes, or how we call them Blini are loved by many Russians or Eastern European in fact as a common weekend breakfast. Blini are also a ritual food in Russia. They symbolize sun and are the main food during Maslenitsa (or butter week in translation), the festival that takes its roots in ancient Slavic history, it celebrates upcoming spring just before the Great Lent that takes place before the Orthodox Easter. During the Maslenitsa blini are baked and eaten in enormous amounts on its own or with all kinds of fillings, savory or sweet!! One of my favorite sweet fillings for blini is tvorog (farmer’s cheese) mixed with lemon, raisins and sugar. For me, it’s a pure indulgence to eat hot of the pan blini with creamy and sweet tvorog!
