Pancakes have become a traditional dish for many CIS countries. As a rule, pancakes are prepared more often in spring than in fall or winter. This trend is connected with the spring holiday – Maslenitsa. This pagan Slavic holiday every year sets the tone for the next events in the country. That is, it is considered a kind of preparation for Easter.
After Maslenitsa people begin to fast. Therefore, eating fat pancakes with different fillings can be considered a necessary event to some extent.
