While in Moscow, Nick and I ate a lot of blintzes. We ordered them at the restaurants and cafes. We bought them ready made at grocery stores. We ate the at my friends’ house. Plain, filled with meat, tvorog, mushrooms, red caviar, or smoke salmon, they were delicious.Unfortunately, here in the US blintzes are not as readily available. So Saturday morning I decided to quench my nostalgia and make my own blintzes. I followed the recipe from Victor’s Café, making 1/3 of the amount and adding a little extra sugar. Starting with a few somewhat thick and slightly darker ones, I managed to produce a few round thin blintzes. Nick and I opened a jar of red caviar, made some tea, and relived some of the best moments of our trip.
