About

The Russian breakfast of choice, these have blini sophistication but a belly-filling base. The brown rice gives the blini base an earthy body that takes the robust, sour heat of the horseradish and sour cream topping. Go heavier with the lemon and horseradish if you want more of a wake-up call atop.
