Blini with cottage cheese and cowberry sauce

Who said that blini were made only for Pancake week? That’s not the truth. «Laced» piping hot pancakes with sour cream, honey or fantasy sauce are desired at every season. There are a lot of blini recipes. Most of all I like thin pancakes impregnated with aroma honey and stuffed with home-made cottage cheese − it’s rather good combination! And what about adding bitter-pleasant spicy cowberry sauce?
