2 Servings 3/4 c flour 1 t granulated sugar 1 t shortening 1 1/2 t yeast 1/2 t salt 1 egg, separated 1 1/2 c milk 2 t 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.
