Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe appear set and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble the blintzes, take one crepe and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the sides of the crepe in, then roll it up into a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Once all the blintzes are assembled, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled blintzes seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and warmed through.
Serve the cinnamon blintzes warm, dusted with powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
