Ingredients (serves 4):

For the blintzes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

- 1 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift up. Flip the blintz and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
4. To assemble the blintzes, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll up the blintz.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the blintzes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
