The Tsiolokovsky Family's - Blini
This Russian recipe page is in progress!

In the Star Trek sim , the USS Eagle, we play a variety of characters from different cultures and different worlds. A sim is an online role playing game. Ours is played in a chatroom. We type in text and play characters in a story.

 This is a page for the Chief Engineer's family and culture.  It is written as if she posted it. She is full blooded Russian and loathes cooking. Cooking for her is punching in some codes into the food processor or asking the Chef to make something for her when she is home sick. Of course, our head strong CENG won't admit it.

 If you would like information on our Star Trek RPG just email me or check out the rest of this web page with the links below. The recipe comes from an information disk that her baba (grandmother) sent her.

1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar

5. Add the remaining tepid milk, sifted flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg yolks
6. Beat the mixture until it makes a smooth batter
7. Place it in a warm place free of drafts
8. Let rise until this doubles
9. Knead it slightly

12. Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl
13. Add the egg whites to the mixture

Blini are thicker and should be thicker than American pancakes. More than just puny runny maple flavored cornsyrup is added on top! This is a serious pancake, comrade.

Serve with jam, sour cream, boiled eggs, chopped scallions and caviar of course!!

Blini- Another marvelous Russian invention, tavereesh!
