Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for blueberry sauce)
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet and swirl to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 crepes.
In another bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Place a crepe on a flat surface. Add 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling into the center, fold the sides in, and roll it up like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
To make the blueberry sauce, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the blueberry mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
In the same skillet used for the crepes, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Cook the filled blintzes for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and lightly crisp.
Serve the blintzes warm, topped with the blueberry sauce.
