Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
- optional fresh fruit, jam, or syrup (for topping)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set the filling aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes on a plate.
To assemble the blintz pancakes, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pancake. Fold the sides over to create a square or roll it up like a burrito.
In a clean skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Place the filled pancakes seam-side down in the skillet and cook until they are golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the blintz pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of jam, or a drizzle of syrup as desired.
