Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for filling)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Egg (beaten, for sealing)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a blender or bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, salt, and melted butter. Blend or whisk until smooth to form the crepe batter. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom thinly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until edges lift easily, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and crumbly, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Place a cooled crepe on a flat surface. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the beef filling to the center. Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Brush the edge with a beaten egg to ensure it stays closed. Repeat with all crepes.
In a large skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Fry the filled blintzes seam-side down until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, or enjoy as-is.
