Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Oil or additional butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to ensure the crepes are tender.
While the batter is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a small non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go.
Place a heaping teaspoonful of the cheese filling at the center of each mini crepe. Fold the edges over the filling to create a small rectangular package.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Arrange the filled blintzes seam side down in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and heated through.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as powdered sugar, fresh fruit, sour cream, or a drizzle of honey.
