Title: Bliny
 Categories: None
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
    3/4 c  Flour
      1 ts Granulated sugar
      1 ts Shortening
  1 1/2 ts Yeast
    1/2 ts Salt
      1    Egg, separated
  1 1/2 c  Milk
      2 ts Vegetable oil
 
  Heat 3/4 of milk to 35C (about 95F).  Add yeast till fully dissolved.
  Add half of sugar, yolk, melted shortening - keep stirring. Add half
  of flour. Stir batter until smooth. Cover with cloth and let stand
  for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.  It should rise to double its original size.
  Mix, heat remaining milk to 50C (this would be about 120F, I think --
  I'm just converting the Laakso temperatures in my head, and my
  Fahrenheit is a bit shaky), pour in. Fold in remaining four, sugar,
  and gradually, well-beaten egg-white. Cover with cloth and leave for
  2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours.
  
  Brush large skillet with the vegetable oil.  Heat until quite hot.
  Spoon batter onto skillet to cover the surface. Turn blin over when
  one side is a nice golden colour. Serve hot.
  
  Serves two.
  
  (I use this to hold a filling of sour cream or cottage cheese and
  fruit preserves.)
