What is Maslenitsa?
Maslenitsa (Blini week) is the only purely Russian Holiday that dates back to long times ago. For seven days Moscow jingles with bells, sings with garmoshkas and glares with gaily-painted dresses. The people are letting the long-annoying winter out and the long-awaited spring in.

Red & Black Pancakes
These pancakes are baked thick and big. Each pancake is buttered with dairy butter and black and red caviar is put on top of it. Above it one more pancake is put and also black and red caviar is put on top of the second one. The whole “cake” should not be too thick, or multilayered as it will not be convenient to slice it into pieces.
