I'm having a very difficult time explaing how to make blini for a class assignment (which is admittedly above the level which we are at right now because we have learned no specific cooking verbs, just готовить).

I would like to know how to say separate an egg, beat an egg, and would жарить work for blini? I don't know that they're really fried... I suppose they are. Also it would be helpful to know how to say melted butter.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

p.s.

separate an egg - отделить белок от желтка (белки от желтков)

beat an egg - взбить яйцо

melted butter - растопленное масло

топлёное масло

топлёное масло is not just растопленное - http://subscribe.ru/archive/home.eat.culinary/200602/08135902.html

Wrong. Топленое масло is a separate product (processed butter), while растопленное масло is an ordinary butter that was melted, and this is in fact what people use for making pancakes.

Ok. I've just never heard "растопленное масло", my grannies always called it "топленое масло".
