  • The delicate, velvety texture and incredible flavor will win over anyone, even people who aren't die-hard chocolate lovers. And for those with a sweet tooth and the true chocolate fans, this treat will earn a permanent spot in the kitchen — not just at Maslenitsa (the Russian pancake holiday), but year-round. Plus it's so easy to make! Fill the crêpes with cottage cheese, cream cheese, pieces of fruit, or berries; drizzle them with syrup or melted chocolate; or serve them the traditional way, with sour cream, jam, or honey. If you happen to be a little short on milk, don't worry — just top it up with water to the right volume. You'll just need a touch more flour in that case.
