PELMENI Preface: It takes quite a time, 2 hours at best. Be ready... I used to make them with other bachelor hackers and discuss different security issues in RSX-11M, UNIX, and MISS (three leading O.S. in Moscow University at the time). I like them so much, I eat them until I cannot move a limb. 1 liter or good fat milk (a quart), actually less. A 2 kg of good white flour clean and hard table a glass 300g or pound of grinded pork, pound grinded beef (* In America I discovered that they spoil typical ground meat in supermarkets... Go to a chineeze store.). Something to add into the meat, preferably .. hmm I forgot. It is similar to onion and grows in the ground, but internal structure is different. Optional freezer Directions: Pile flour in the center of the table so it makes a conical heap about 20 cm (8 in) high. Make a hole in the top so the heap resembles a volcano. Carefuly pour the milk into the hole. Then stick your index finger into the milk and make circular movements so that you mix milk and flour. This will produce a bun of dough. Extract the dough from the volcano and add repeat the process until your volcano starts look like a Pacific atoll. Collect the dough into a ball. It should be not too dump to stick to hands too much but not too hard to flatten. Beat it and otherwise make it homogenous. Then, separate a piece about two fists in size. Take an empty beer bottle with no label and no moldings. Scatter a little bit of flour on the table, put the dough and roll it into a thin slab with the bottle. Now you may work in parallel. Main man takes the glass and cuts round pieces of the slab. Helpers get pieces of mixed meat and put them onto the these mini-pancakes. BTW, a single variety of meat won't work. You must mix lean beef and fat pork. Fold the pancakes and seal them around the meat. Then Take pointed ends and connect them together so that the seam is on the outside. The size of the ready "pel'men'" is about 2.5cm or 7/8 in. If they are too large they won't be tasty. Too small may fall apart. Usually people put them on plates in one layer (spread some flour on the plate). If units stick it's pain in the ass to separate them. Once they are frozen deep they are safe to put into a plastic bag for storage. Cooking: Pour water into a pan and throw a cube of chicken shit in it (Knorr or something). When water starts to boil, dump pelmeni into the pan. Beware of splashes of boiling water. Stir them gently but continuously so they do not stick to the pan. When all pelmeni start to float, mark the time. 7 minutes or so is typically appropriate. I eat them with cow butter, other prefer sour cream. --Pete Jim Shafer writes: >Rule of thumb on home made CC cookies. >1st serving is 1/2 of batch, eaten while they cool on the cookie sheet. >2nd serving is other half of batch eaten as soon as they are taken from >the cookie sheet. >eyeballs >ps This does not count the mass of cookie dough eaten before cooking >"Brian Nolen(Spandau =TH=)" wrote: >> >> Tom Brenholts/Mosca wrote in article >> <374CA271.DFE07244@intergrafix.net>... >> > OK, how many chocolate chip cookies are in a "serving"? >> > >> > Mosca >> >> OK, serious answer?
