To make these Lemon Poppy Seed Blintzes, you'll need the following ingredients:
- For the blintzes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
To start, whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift away from the pan. Flip the blintz and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To make the filling, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and poppy seeds in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
To assemble the blintzes, spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each blintz. Fold the sides of the blintz over the filling, then fold the bottom up and the top down to create a neat package.
Serve the Lemon Poppy Seed Blintzes warm, garnished with additional lemon zest and powdered sugar if desired. These blintzes are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a light and fluffy texture that's sure to please. Enjoy!
