CHEESE BLINTZES 
2 eggs
1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. milk, or half milk & half water, mixed
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 c. butter (for frying)
6"-7" heavy frying pan or skillet

METHOD: Beat the eggs in a bowl with a fork until mixed, then stir in the flour and milk alternately, still using the fork. Add the sale and melted butter and beat until smooth.

In the pan or skillet heat the butter and add 1 to 2 tablespoons batter, quickly tilting and turning the pan so the bottom is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat until the batter is just set on top and golden brown on the bottom. (Blintzes are cooked on one side only.)

Turn out onto a cloth and continue frying the remaining blintzes in the butter in the same way, piling one on top of the other to keep warm.

Browned side up, fill the blintzes with cheese mixture and roll up, touching in the ends. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and fry the blintzes until browned on all sides.

CHEESE:

2 c. cottage or Farmer's cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp. sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Beat the cheese with the remaining ingredients until soft. Serve the fried cheese-filled blintzes with sour cream and blueberries or strawberries, or with honey.

Makes 12 blintzes.
