blini \bli"ni\ (bl[=e]"n[=e]; bl[i^]"n[=e]), n. pl.; sing.
blin. [Russian.]
Russian pancakes of buckwheat flour and yeast, sometimes made
from white flour; they are usually served folded over, with

plural word (from the Russian plural of blin) but in America,
often used as singular; thus the common plural blinis.
Syn: bliny, blinis.
