Ingredients (serves 4):
For the blintzes:

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, almond extract, and poppy seeds.
2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
