Equipment

  • 1 crepe pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened (plus more for toasting them, later)

Cheese filling:

  • 1 cup low-fat ricotta or cottage cheese I used cottage cheese for this recipe
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 8-ounce jar Lingonberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoons powder sugar

Topping Ideas:

Instructions

  • Cheese Filling: Combine filling ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Place bowl in freezer to chill filling while you cook the blintzes.
  • Make Batter: Add milk, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Cook: Heat a crepe pan over medium heat. Pour roughly ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion until the batter is in a thin, circle in the pan. Cook until lightly golden on the bottom, then flip and cook on the other side. Remove to a plate and keep warm while you continue cooking all the blintzes.
  • Add Filling: Place a big spoonful of the filling onto the pancake, about 1 inch from the bottom. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining blintzes.
  • Pan Fry: Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, work in batches to toast the blintzes seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 on each side, just until golden brown all over. Serve with desired toppings.
  • Lingonberry Jam Sauce
  • Heat in ingredients in microwave or small pan over low heat 3-5 minutes to marry flavors.
  • Serve: smear a few teaspoons onto the plate, add cooked blintz’s serve with plum syrup and powdered sugar
