Blini

[JBRaven]

Blini is not only a food appropriate for ritual, it is a traditional food offered to the dead.

Scald 2 cups milk. When it has cooled somewhat, stir in 1 package yeast, 1 Tbsp sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour. Let this rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour. beat 3 egg yolks with 1tsp salt, 1 Tbsp melted butter and 1/2 cup flour. Stir this into the sponge. Beat 3 eggwhites until stiff and fold them into the batter. Cook small pancakes in melted butter. Serve with sour cream and maybe some caviar.

Yum, sounds good! I've never had Blini but they were talking about it on Gilmore Girls last night, lol. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, if you are making a recipe for the dead, I would recommend serving it with elderberry preserves. Yum! And kick that cold in the head, too!
