Steps:
- 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.
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Melt some of the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and tilt the pan to completely coat with the batter. Cook until golden on the bottom, and no longer wet on the top, about 2 minutes per crepe. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of a crepe. Fold this side up towards the center, then fold the sides in. Fold the top over the filling, and place seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 minutes more.

CINNAMON BLINTZES TO FREEZE
I triple this recipe, individually wrap the blintzes in waxed paper, and store them in the freezer. Defrost 2-3 for a great, special breakfast (or anytime of day!). You can microwave them, but they are best when cooked in a pan with some butter until they are golden brown. A little prep work now yields a rewarding meal later! Crepe recipe from Joy of Cooking... The amount of filling depends on how big your pan was and how many crepes broke during the process (one of my favorite childhood memories was hoping my mom broke a lot!)
