Perhaps part of our easy pancakes appeal is their simplicity, acting as a canvas for all kinds of toppings – whether you want to slather them in melted chocolate or opt for a classic lemon and sugar, these versatile crêpes have catered to all tastes and trends over the years.

Russian blinis, or buckwheat pancakes, are yeasted pancakes traditionally made from buckwheat flour and served savoury with sour cream or caviar. Mini blinis have become popular in the UK and are often eaten with smoked salmon as an appetiser. Think of them as the party type of pancake.
