I have made thousands of blinis in my life as I love these little pancakes as they are the perfect blank canvas for savoury toppings. The classic topping is sour cream and caviar but try sour cream and smoked salmon or crab meat too! They are also delicious with sweet toppings like Nutella or honey, butter and jam.

2- Souffle Pancakes

I remember the first time I tried a potato latke - it was in New York and I thought it was just about one of the most delicious ways to serve both pancakes and potatoes. If you love rosti or hash browns you are going to LOVE potato latkes!

When I first heard about the Golden Diner pancakes I had to try them and I was not disappointed. Not only are these cake style pancakes fluffy and thick but they come with a delicious sauce made with a touch of soy sauce that gives is a complex savoury aspect.

So tell me Dear Reader, do you celebrate pancake day? And which pancakes would you celebrate with?
