These are Russia’s answer to the pancake. Small and moist, these griddle puppies are made with either keffir or buttermilk and can be served with fresh fruit, jam, sour cream, honey, or even a heaping drizzle of sweetened condensed milk.

Instructions
- Whisk together dry ingredients in bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter, beat until smooth. Finally, stir in that glorious pumpkin.
- Slowly fry the olad’yi in a lightly buttered pan, over medium heat for about 2-4 minutes per side (if they burn, your stove is up too high, adjust accordingly. you’re looking for the top to change from shiny to dull before you flip it). TIP: Transfer the coins of pumpkin glory to a 200F oven until they are all fried up. (This has the bonus effect of helping the extra moist interior continue cooking a bit.)
- There’s nothing quite so grand as a stack of pancakes with fresh fruit… unless it’s a stack of pancakes with fresh fruit and honey. Try it with a cup of black tea stirred with a spoonful of jam – another glorious Russian tradition.
