Ingredients (serves 4):

For the blintzes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Additional butter for cooking

For the filling:

- 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fig jam
- 1/4 cup chopped dried figs
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For the topping:

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter, and whisk until smooth.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and swirl to coat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to curl up and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip the blintz and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, fig jam, chopped figs, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
4. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll up the blintz.
5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and swirl to coat. Place the blintzes in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
6. To serve, drizzle the blintzes with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
