Pancakes are an iconic dish of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian cuisine in the form of fried small flatbreads made from dough mixed with kefir or milk, based on eggs and flour. The word "pancakes" comes from the Greek. "eladion", which means "fried in oil". The dough used for pancakes is similar to pancake dough, only thicker. And the dough for pancakes is not poured like pancakes into a frying pan, but spread out with a spoon. You can eat this dish in combination with sour cream, jam, preserves, honey or any other topping of your choice.
