Combine yeast, warm water and honey in large bowl. Stir

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, milk, salt and egg
yolks. Add yeast mixture. Stir well. Cover bowl with clean
towel and let batter rise in warm place 1 hour.
Beat egg whites in clean bowl until soft peaks form. In
another bowl, whip chilled evaporated milk with electric
beater until thick like whipped cream. Fold into egg
whites. Fold egg-white mixture into batter.
Heat 10-inch nonstick griddle or skillet until drop of
water sizzles when flicked onto surface. Cook thin pancakes
on hot griddle, flipping once. Stack on paper towels. Offer
with fillings of choice. Makes about 24.
Note: One envelope contains about 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast.
Possible blini fillings include: sliced mushrooms sauteed
in dry sherry until golden; fruit-flavored low-fat yogurt;
fresh fruit jams; sliced fresh fruit; part-skim ricotta
cheese sweetened with honey, brown sugar or pure maple
syrup.
