Time 3h5m

Yield 8 blintzes to serve 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons melted butter
Nonstick vegetable spray
Cherry Filling, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
Sour cream or yogurt, as an accompaniment
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1-teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 scraped vanilla bean
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 pound (2 cups) farmer's cheese, pot cheese or cottage cheese

Steps:

  • Put the milk, water, eggs, and flour into a food processor or blender and process until smooth, about 10 seconds. If necessary, scrape down any solids that stick to the sides. Add the butter and process for a few more seconds to blend. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight. Set a 10-inch, non-stick crepe pan over moderately high heat, then spray with non-stick vegetable spray. When the pan is hot, remove the pan from the heat and add 2 tablespoons of batter, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes and lightly browned. Set aside on a plate, cooked side up, and continue with the remainder of the batter.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of Cherry Filling in the lower center of the blintz. Fold up once from the bottom then fold over the sides. Roll up the rest of the way. Repeat with the rest. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. In 4 small batches, fry the blintzes fold side down until golden brown. Gently flip to fry the other side. Serve with sour cream or yogurt.
  • In a small saucepan, cover the cherries with water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let rest. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar and egg until blended. Gently mix in the pot, farmer or cottage cheese. Drain the cherries and fold in.

Time 1h15m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
¼ cup cold water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese, strained if wet
½ cup cream cheese
1 lemon, zested
1 large egg
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed for dusting

Steps:

  • Place 3 eggs, flour, milk, water, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, 1 or 2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed. Let batter sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Whisk together ricotta cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest, egg, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix together thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Heat a 10-inch, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray or brush lightly with vegetable oil. Pour in about 1/4 cup batter. Immediately swirl batter around to coat bottom of pan. Cook until surface looks dry, about 1 minute. Flip crepe over to briefly cook other side, about 30 seconds. Remove to a plate. Repeat with the rest of batter. Stack crepes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking dish.
  • Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling onto the crepe, about an inch from edge nearest you. Fold edge over filling and flatten slightly. Fold in both sides, then roll up crepe into a small filled rectangle, ending with the seam on the bottom, creating a blintz.
  • Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Cook the blintzes until golden brown on both sides, turning gently, about 2 minutes. Transfer to buttered baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven to firm up the filling, about 12 minutes. Cool blintzes 10 minutes before serving. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar.

Time 59m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
¾ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 (16 ounce) package dry small curd cottage cheese
3 ½ tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg yolk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup butter, or as needed, divided

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat in flour using an electric mixer until well blended. Let batter stand for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, cottage cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg yolk, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make the filling.

  • Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over low heat, about 1 minute.
  • Place a blintz on a clean work surface with the uncooked side up. Add 1 tablespoon filling and roll up, completely covering the filling. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining blintzes. Brush filled blintzes with melted butter.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular nonstick skillet. Just make sure to use a little bit of butter or cooking spray to grease the pan before cooking the crepes.
  • Be careful not to overfill the crepes with the cheese filling. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal.
  • If you're short on time, you can make the crepe batter and cheese filling ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator overnight. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before using.
  • Serve the blintzes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, fresh fruit, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Cherry cheese blintzes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a little bit of planning, you can have this classic dish on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cherry cheese blintzes a try!
