Blini (also blinis or bliny; ; blin; ) are Russian pancakes, often made with a yeast-raised batter of buckwheat and/or wheat flour and milk. They may be served with smetana, cottage cheese, caviar and other garnishes, or simply smeared with butter. They are a traditional dish in Russian cuisine.
In the English language, blini traditionally refers to small savory pancakes made with leavened batter. In modern Russian, the term most often refers to pan-sized leavened thin pancakes, although smaller leavened pancakes are also called blini. Smaller and thicker pancakes (with several of them baked on one larger pan) are called oladyi.
