Russian Pancakes- Oladushki

I remember eating these ever since I could remember anything in my life. I would eat these anywhere and everywhere. My boldest memory is my grandma shlepping a container of these little pancakes to the beach. After swimming in the ocean and running around, these were the perfect little snack I needed. These remind me of summer so much because every since I was 2 I would spend my summer's in Brighton Beach eating these delicious pretty golden pancakes. I could eat 5 in under a minute-I devoured them. They are light, fluffy, and fruity pancakes that have a refreshing aspect to them-very different than your IHOP version. They don't weigh you down nor do they make you feel like a slob. They may be similar to the American counterpart, but for some reason taste and feel so different to me. For me, I smile and feel as if I am a little kid when I eat them, they bring back my Russian summers.
