Cheese Blintzes II
Description
Homemade crepes are stuffed with a vanilla-cheese filling, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, and baked in this easy recipe.
Ingredients
•
1 cup milk
•
3 eggs
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
2 cups cottage cheese
•
1 egg yolk
•
1 teaspoon melted butter
•
2 teaspoons white sugar
•
1 teaspoon lemon juice
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
•
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, or as needed
Directions
1
Place the milk, whole eggs, salt, and flour into a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling by beating together the cottage cheese, egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
2
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
3
Melt some of the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and tilt the pan to completely coat with the batter. Cook until golden on the bottom, and no longer wet on the top, about 2 minutes per crepe. Repeat with remaining batter.
4
Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of a crepe. Fold this side up towards the center, then fold the sides in. Fold the top over the filling, and place seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
5
Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 minutes more.
