Bleach printing with stencils

I had seen various videos with bleach applied to dark fabrics, leaving rust-colored patterns on them. We spoke with Timur about it and he set off cutting stencils from a sheet of thick transparent plastic. By now he has made three of them. The result of the application of the last one is pictured above, worn by Timur himself.

Scalded dough pancakes

I used this easy recipe for scalded dough pancakes a few times already, with several different flours, and it always work quite well, so here goes.

Ingredients, in order of appearance:

    Eggs 2
    Salt half teaspoon
    Sugar 1 tablespoon
    Milk 250 ml (1 cup)
    Flour 250 ml (1 cup)
    Baking powder 1 tablespoon
    Boiling water 120 ml (half a cup)
    3 tablespoons of oil

Beat eggs with a whisk of fork, add sugar and salt, beat, add milk, beat, add flour and baking powder, beat till smooth, add boiling water, beat, add oil, beat.

Let stand for 20 minutes or so.

The dough will be liquid, that’s normal.

Heat a pan (or two or three) well, spray with oil or wipe with kitchen towel with a bit of oil on it. I generally find it’s enough to do it once.

Figure out the amount of dough needed for your pan to have a thin pancake. It takes very little time, literally a few second on each side. Mix the dough a bit every time you go in with the spoon or what have you, I found that some flours tend to sink to the bottom.

That’s all there is to it.

Enjoy!
