Russian blini with buckwheat flour

These fantastic savory pancakes are called blini (also blin, bliny, blintchik) and in particular these Russian blini are made of buckwheat flour. Because this recipe uses only buckwheat flour they are gluten free. Traditionally they were prepared at the end of winter on the occasion of maslenica (it is a traditional Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian holiday that takes place in the week immediately preceding Great Lent and which roughly corresponds to the carnival – wikipedia) but as often happens with delicious food, now they are prepared all year round and often decorated not in traditional way (smetana and caviar). My version includes cream cheese, dill and smoked salmon topping.
