Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt. Add the milk and eggs, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the vegetable oil.
Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the surface.
Cook until the blintz begins to set and the edges start to peel away from the pan, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Place 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the center of each blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll from the bottom to fully encase the filling.
In a clean skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the filled blintzes seam side down and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the blintzes warm, dusted with powdered sugar or with your favorite fruit topping.
