There is no place like kitchen

The whole idea of “alcohol cooks out” was blown away by the University of Idaho, Washington State University, and the US Department of Agriculture’s Nutrient Data Laboratory several years ago.

Their study came up with:
* alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat – 85% alcohol retained
* alcohol flamed – 75% alcohol retained
* no heat, stored overnight – 70% alcohol retained
* baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture – 45% alcohol retained
* baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:
- 15 minutes 40% alcohol retained
- 30 minutes 35% alcohol retained
- 1 hour 25% alcohol retained
- 1.5 hours 20% alcohol retained
- 2 hours 10% alcohol retained
- 2.5 hours 5% alcohol retained

Today in Russia began Pancake week - Maslenitsa. The most characteristic food of Maslenitsa is bliny or crepes.

For some reason, I will prepare and write in the blog gluten-free and/or dairy-free recipes. This crepe recipe uses only two types of flour. I added more liquid to get a thin crepes.
