Traditionally, blintzes are associated with Shavuot. This is a traditional holiday breakfast for our family. Rolled pancakes filled with cheese, fruit or both, they make a delicious dessert. Sweet blintzes carry on the tradition of cheese and fruit fillings. Serve either with sour cream and powdered sugar, or maple or chocolate syrup. We like to serve them with fruit pie fillings, like apples, blueberries, or cherries, and then put a dollop of sour cream and powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on them.

Overnight Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes
I find the taste of pure buckwheat pancakes too strong so I am using half all-purpose and half buckwheat flour. The pancakes can be served with syrup for breakfast, or like blinis with savory toppings such as smoked salmon and sour cream.
