Pancakes are a popular dish in many cuisines around the world, especially in Russian cuisine. They are flat, round cakes made from a batter consisting of eggs, flour, and milk or water. Pancakes can be sweet or savory and are usually fried in a skillet with vegetable oil. They are often served with honey, sour cream, jam, or fruit, but can also be used as a side dish to meat or vegetables.
