There is a phrase - ‘�'ез блина не масляна’ - Without pancakes, there is no Maslenitsa. Feasting on pancakes is still an important part of Maslenitsa, and tradition stipulates that pancakes should be cooked every day! Popular fillings include condensed milk, honey, cottage cheese, sour cream, caviar and varenye, homemade jam. If you’re not able to visit the Maslenitsa celebrations, why not find a recipe to make your own Russian pancakes at home!
