These blintzes are made with a sweet and tangy orange blossom filling that is wrapped in a thin, crepe-like pancake.

To make Orange Blossom Blintzes, you will need the following ingredients:

For the filling:

- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the blintzes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted

For the sauce:

- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
To start, make the filling by combining the ricotta cheese, sugar, egg, orange blossom water, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Next, make the blintzes by whisking together the flour, salt, milk, eggs, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in a small amount of the batter, swirling the pan to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pancake and fold the sides over to create a small package. Place the blintzes seam-side down in a baking dish.
To make the sauce, combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and stir in the orange blossom water.
Pour the sauce over the blintzes and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, until heated through and lightly browned on top.
The Orange Blossom Blintzes are a sweet and tangy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The filling is creamy and flavorful, while the sauce adds a sweet and citrusy touch. The blintzes themselves are light and fluffy, with a delicate texture that complements the filling and sauce perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
