1 teaspoon anise extract
3 drops red food coloring
Directions

Blini (Russian Pancakes) recipe.
Ingredients
4 1/4 cups milk
1/3 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon citric acid powder
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water
2/3 cup butter, divided
Directions
Beat together the milk and the eggs. Stir in the salt and the sugar and mix well. Add the baking soda and citric acid.
Blend in the flour. Add the vegetable oil and pour in the boiling water, stirring constantly. The batter should be very thin, almost watery. Set the bowl aside and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Pick the pan up off the heat. Pour in a ladleful of batter while you rotate your wrist, tilting the pan so the batter makes a circle and coats the bottom. The blini should be very thin.
Return the pan to the heat. Cook the blini for 90 seconds. Carefully lift up an edge of the blini to see if it's fully cooked: the edges will be golden and it should have brown spots on the surface. Flip the blini over and cook the other side for 1 minute.
Transfer the blini to a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Continue cooking the blini, adding an additional tablespoon of butter to the pan after each 4 blini. Stack them on top of each other and cover with the kitchen towel to keep warm.
Spread your favorite filling in the center of the blini, and fold three times to make a triangle shape. You can also fold up all 4 sides, like a small burrito.

BBQ Beer Can Chicken recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups cherry wood chips
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans beer, half full
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 (3 pound) whole chickens
Directions
Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect medium heat, about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix together dark brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Place two half full cans of beer on a baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon seasoning mix into each can. Be careful, this will make the beer foam up and out of the can.
Rinse chicken under cold running water. Discard giblets and neck from chicken; drain and pat dry. Rub each chicken with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Rub the remaining seasoning mix over the entire chicken, inside and out. Fit each chicken over a can of beer with the legs on the bottom; keep upright.
Drain the wood chips and place them with the coals or in an aluminum pan on or under the grill grate as directed by the grill's manual. Place the two chickens, standing on their cans directly on the grill. Close the lid and barbeque the chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chickens from the grill and discard the beer cans.
