We love blintzes with their thin crepe outside and warm sweet filling. They make the most divine breakfast. Helaine uses a European-style cheese that has a fine curd. It mixes well with the cinnamon sugar and holds up to frying. Once the blintzes are fried, they have a warm toasted buttery flavor with a lightly sweet filling. You...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
1 c water or milk
1 c all-purpose flour
dash(es) salt
2 tsp sugar (optional)
FILLINGS (MAY BE DOUBLED)
8 oz dry farmers cheese (not the hard type). Breakstone makes it.
1 egg (yolk only)
sugar, to taste
cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Beat egg with salt and liquid (water or milk) until smooth.
  • 2. Add flour gradually until the consistency of heavy cream. You do not need a mixer. A whisk will work as well.
  • 3. Add more liquid or flour as necessary. The batter will thicken as it sits.
  • 4. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into a greased, preheated crepe or crepe size fry pan.
  • 5. Tilt pan until entire bottom is covered with a thin, even layer.
  • 6. When the blintz is browned underneath and dry on top (1 to 4 minutes), turn out onto waxed paper (browned side up).
  • 7. Cover with waxed paper and continue to stack blintzes and paper until all of the batter's used.
  • 8. Mix filling ingredients.
  • 9. Spoon some of the mixture into each blintz.
  • 10. Roll up once.
  • 11. Fold in ends.
  • 12. Continue rolling into a cigar shape (like a Chinese egg roll shape). Chill until ready to cook.
  • 13. To cook, heat a large skillet to medium-low and melt 2 teaspoons butter.
  • 14. Fry blintzes, turning occasionally.
  • 15. Add more butter as necessary.
  • 16. Serve with warm applesauce, sour cream (as is the tradition). Can easily increase quantities if you are cooking for a crowd.

I've made blintzes before, but these were by far the best. The batter was easy to work with and the crepes turned out thin and delicate. The filling was also very flavorful.
