Pancakes: the Russian word ("bliny") refers to a yeast-batter, savory pancake usually eaten with fish-and-sour cream toppings. It takes many hours to prepare bliny, from the mixing and rising of the batter (twice), to the frying in frying pans. You can also follow this link to a recipe (this one is for a variation with buckwheat flour; try it).
