Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 4 eggs, water, milk, salt, and flour until well-mixed. Don't over-beat. It's okay if small particles of flour remain as they will be absorbed during the resting period.
- Let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a small skillet (about 7 inches in diameter) and add a pat of butter.
- Whisk the batter until smooth.
- Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and swirl it around, pouring off excess. Make sure not to let it brown.
- Flip and cook the other side for a few seconds.
- Then, turn the blintz out onto a towel.
- Repeat with remaining batter and pats of butter, staggering the crepes one on top of each other.
- In a large bowl, mix together cheese, melted butter, 1 egg yolk, vanilla, and sugar until well-incorporated.
- To assemble, place one blintz on a work surface and place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling in a line close to the edge nearest to you.
- Fold envelope-style.
- Roll up, and continue with remaining blintzes and filling.
- Fry the filled blintzes in butter until golden brown.
- Serve with optional sour cream and/or fresh or canned fruit toppings. Enjoy!

- Place the milk, whole eggs, salt, and flour into a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling by beating together the cottage cheese, egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

- Grease a 6- or 7-inch skillet until it is hot but not smoking.
- Put a ladleful of batter into the skillet. Tilt pan to swirl the batter so it covers the bottom of the skillet.

- Repeat the above procedure until all the batter is used. Grease skillet each time before pouring batter.
- After all the crepes are made, begin filling them. The brown side should be facing up. Place 1 tablespoon of filling on one edge.

Steps:
- FILLING: Mix all ingredients, beating well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate to cool for 1 hour or overnight.
- CREPES: To a large (4 cup) pyrex measuring cup or a bowl, and using a hand mixer, add all crepe ingredients and mix well until it coats the spoons with a thin film. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Using a large nonstick pan, spray with oil, and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Stir the batter again, and pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, swirling the pan to coat and thin out the crepe.
- When the crepes pull away from the edge of the pan in about 30 seconds, remove from the heat and run a spatula across the edge of the pan to release the crepe. Slide the crepe onto a sheet of parchment paper. Carefully lift the crepe and flip over (back) into the pan to cook the other side.
- Slide the crepe (again) onto a parchment paper, this time covering with another sheet so there will be parchment between each crepe. Repeat for remaining crepes, stirring the batter at brief intervals to re-suspend the ingredients. (stop here, cover crepes with plastic wrap and refrigerate if making overnight).
- ASSEMBLY: While remaining stacked, spoon about 1/4 cup of the chilled filling onto the center of the first crepe. Fold two opposite sides of the crepe over the filling until they almost meet and then fold over the opposite sides to seal. Set finished 'eggroll or burrito' shaped blintz aside on the parchment paper with the seam side down. Repeat for remaining blintzes.
- COOK: Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat, beginning with the seam side down. Saute blintzes (about 3 per batch) 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown (watch for burning, adjust heat level if neccesary).
- Flip the blintzes carefully so as not to break break them up or allow the cheese to escape. Do in batches, adding more butter as needed. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Crêpe Batter:.
- Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl and set aside. Combine the egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract in another bowl and stir until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until blended into a relatively smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. (The batter may be prepared to this point and stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.).
- Heat a crêpe pan or small skillet over medium heat. Brush the pan with melted butter. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into the crêpe pan, swirling and tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Cook (reducing the heat if necessary) until the first side is set and has a little color, about 2 minutes. Use a thin metal or heatproof rubber spatula to loosen the crêpe and turn it over. Cook on the other side until set and very lightly colored (the crêpe will not be as dark on the second side as on the first), 1 minute more. Stack the crêpes between layers of parchment or waxed paper as you cook.
- Cheese Filling:.
- Purée the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a blender until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar, egg and vanilla extract by hand. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to finish the crêpes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a medium baking dish with melted butter.
- Spoon or pipe about 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto each crêpe. Fold each crêpe into quarters, or fold the sides in to the center, then roll each crêpe up. Place the crêpes seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter and bake until very hot, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, 2 crêpes per serving, with fruit or compote.

Steps:
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine farmer cheese, egg, sugar, matzo meal or bread crumbs and vanilla. Using a fork, mix well; set aside.
- For the batter: In a large bowl, combine milk, eggs, durum flour, cake flour, vegetable oil and 1/4 cup cold water. Whisk until batter is smooth.
- Place a 9-inch well-seasoned crepe pan or heavy skillet over medium-low heat. When pan is well heated, film it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Allow pan to heat again for a few moments, then ladle 1/2 cup batter into skillet and tilt in all directions to spread batter thinly and evenly. Cook until underside is pale yellow-white and edges lift easily from bottom of pan, about 3 minutes. Adjust heat as needed if crepe is cooking too quickly or slowly.
- Use a spatula to flip crepe, then cook other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. (The first crepe often tears or folds; there will still be enough batter for 10 crepes.) Transfer crepe to a plate, and repeat with remaining batter to make 10 crepes.
- Place a crepe on a work surface and spread 3 to 4 tablespoons filling on one side. Starting from filled side, roll blintz and stack on a serving plate or in a container seam side down. At this point blintzes may be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- To serve, place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Melt a tablespoon butter and add as many blintzes as possible without crowding pan. Cook until golden brown on bottoms and filling is heated through, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm; repeat with remaining crepes and filling. Serve immediately, seam side down, garnished with sour cream, if desired.

Steps:
- To make the crepes, combine the milk, eggs, and flour in a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Combine the farmer's cheese, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in the work bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.
- Melt a pat of butter in a heavy 8-inch nonstick skillet.* Ladle in just enough batter to coat the bottom of the skillet. (Tilt the skillet to coat it evenly.) Allow the crepe to cook undisturbed until it is set and the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Loosen the crepe around the edges with a spatula and carefully transfer it to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter. You should have enough for about 14 crepes.
- Spoon about 4 tablespoons of fi lling down the center of each crepe. Fold in the short ends and then roll up, burrito-style. Serve the blintzes immediately or rewarm in a 250°F oven.
Tips:
- For a classic blintz, use farmer's cheese instead of ricotta.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the cheese and eggs together with a fork.
- Be sure to heat the pan over medium heat before adding the blintzes. If the pan is too hot, the blintzes will burn.
- Cook the blintzes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the blintzes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or fruit compote.
