Russian caviar blini served

Russian Caviar Blini

Russian caviar blini is an iconic appetizer traditionally prepared for special occasions and celebrations. The blini is a Russian pancake made with a combination of buckwheat flour and all-purpose flour, resulting in a slightly nutty flavor and soft texture. Caviar and sour cream is a classic Russian pairing, a luxury dish from noble and Tsarist cuisines. Modern versions also use salmon or trout roe to make the dish more accessible while retaining the authentic experience. Served with a glass of champagne or vodka, it offers a true Russian gastronomic experience.
