JCB Gelee Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 tablespoons or 1 1/2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 cups cold water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup cold champagne
• 1/2 cup cold 7 up
• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
Directions:
• In a saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes.
• Bring the water with the gelatin powder to a boil over high heat while stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
• Remove from the heat, and transfer the gelatin mixture to a bowl, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved.
• Stir in the champagne and 7 up.
• Fill molds or shot glasses ¼ full with strawberries
• Fill with liguid
• The smaller the mold the firmer the jello will be, metal molds make firmer jello than glass molds.
• Refrigerate until firm. To loosen from the mold, run a knife around the top of the jello and put it in a bath of warm water for 10–20 seconds.
• Flip it over and shake it or give it a light pat to release
Blini Recipe

685 grams flour

Directions:
Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. In a pot warm milk and yeast just until dissolved. Make a mayonnaise with yolks and oil. Combine wet and dry by making a well in the dry and mixing in wet. Fold in mayonnaise. Place in a warm place to proof for 20 minutes. Double whip whites to stiff peak and fold in. Spray cooking spray in a skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until brown, about 1 minute more. Lay on plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
