RUSSIAN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

These golden, fluffy buttermilk pancakes with apple inside make the perfect Saturday morning breakfast or brunch. This simple recipe makes perfect pancakes easy enough to whip up any day of the week! We call them Oladushki. They are light and fluffy, and great with sour cream and jam. You can add fresh berries, thinly sliced fruit, or even crumbled crisp bacon for an extra hit of flavor. I have made these for years, and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has. Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure that the pancakes will be airy.
