Cheese Blintzes Recipe

  1. In a blender, place all the ingredients and whirl until smooth, scraping the sides a few times.
  2. Or, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs.
  3. Whisk in the flour, sugar, and salt.
  4. Gradually whisk in the water until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
  5. Set aside while preparing the filling.
  6. (Makes 2 1/2 cups.)
  7. Crumble the farmers cheese into a medium bowl.
  8. Add the cream cheese, sugar, egg, cinnamon, and salt and mash with a fork until well blended.
  9. Rub a 6-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel moistened with vegetable oil.
  10. Heat over medium heat.
  11. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter, tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom, and cook until golden brown on the underside, about 3 minutes (although successive crepes will brown faster).
  12. Tip the crepe onto a plate.
  13. Place a small piece of waxed paper on top to separate crepes.
  14. If not using right away, wrap tightly and refrigerate or freeze.
  15. Continue making crepes, stacking them with waxed paper, oiling the pan as needed, and thinning the batter with a tablespoon of water if it gets thick.
  16. You will get 20 to 23 crepes.
  17. Place a crepe on a work surface.
  18. Spoon a scant 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom half.
  19. Fold in the sides and roll up.
  20. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
  21. Blintzes may be wrapped and refrigerated or frozen once filled.
  22. If baking blintzes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish plus a smaller baking dish for those that cannot fit into the larger dish.
  23. Arrange blintzes seam side down in single layers in the buttered dishes.
  24. Dot with 2 to 3 tablespoons butter.
  25. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  26. Uncover and bake until lightly browned and heated through, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  27. If frying blintzes, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  28. Add enough blintzes seam side down to fit in the pan without touching.
  29. Fry until lightly browned and crisp on the underside, about 2 minutes.
  30. Turn and fry until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  31. Transfer to a large platter, cover loosely with foil, and keep warm in a 200 degrees oven while you fry the rest.
  32. Add butter to the pan as needed.
  33. Serve.
