About

Similar to Russian blinis, these delicious yeast-leavened pancakes are easy to prepare. Filled with cream and topped with candied flower petals and pistachios, these tiny treats are delicious. They are the perfect choice for a dessert buffet because they are beautiful to look at and they are so easy to pick up.
