There is another kind of pancakes in Russia, called Oladyi. They are little and very thick. You can put 5-6 Oladyi on the pan. The base of batter for oladyi can be buttermilk or sour milk or kefir.
Method
Mix eggs with buttermilk (kefir or sour milk). Add soda, sugar, salt and flour and mix thoroughly. The batter must be dense but liquid, if it is not, add more flour. Drain the batter so that there are no flour lumps in it. Pour a little vegetable oil into a pan. Heat the pan. Pour 5-6 little rounds of batter on the pan. Cook until light brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Servings: 5-6. Oladyi can be served with butter, sour cream, sugar or jam.

Response to previous question: Both olady and blini are very good. Olady resemble American pancakes, but more smooth in texture. Blini resemble French crepes, but are thicker and heavier. Mr. Anonymous
