Ingredients

BLINI SHELLS
1 c flour plus 2 tablespoons
4 Tbsp sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c milk
sour cream
oil or cooking spray for frying
CHEESE FILLING
24 oz farms/pot cheese or cottage cheese
2 eggs
3 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

1. To make the Blini shells the first step is to mix the dry ingredients(flour & sugar).Beat eggs well, Add milk to eggs. Then add to dry ingredients a little at a time, beating well. Batter will be smooth like pancake batter. Using a 7 inch skillet that has been lightly oiled/sprayed, pour thin layer of batter to cover bottom of pan. Fry till light in color, frying only the one side. Remove to a plate to cool before filling
2. To make cheese filling place all the filling ingredients(cheese, eggs & sugar) in a blender or food processor & mix well. ****You can also fill the shells with Applesauce, Apricot, Prune or Poppyseed filling as well.
3. To make Blini, place a shell on a cutting board or counter top. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the non fried side and spread evenly creating a line in that center leaving about an inch at each end. Roll over until log forms and place in a buttered baking dish.(Be careful not to over lap the Blini) Take a spoon & run the back of the spoon through the sour cream and then spread a thin layer evenly over top of each Blini. Now Place a few pats of butter over top the prepared Blini Pan, then sprinkle with cinnamon & lightly dust with powdered sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm & enjoy

I tried making these blinis, but they didn't turn out well. I think I overmixed the batter.
