If you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make dish that will impress your family and friends, then look no further than blintzes!
To make blintzes, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the filling:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the crepes, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in about 1/4 cup of the batter. Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly and cook until the edges start to curl and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go.
To make the filling, mix together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each crepe and fold the sides over to enclose the filling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the blintzes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the blintzes hot, topped with your favorite fruit compote or syrup. These delicious and indulgent treats are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table!
