CHEESE BLINTZES 
BATTER:

2 eggs
1 cup milk or water (milk makes a more tender shell)
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sifted flour

Beat eggs well and add salt. Add flour all at once. Add milk gradually and beat to a smooth batter. This will make a very thin batter.

CHEESE FILLING FOR BLINTZES:

1 pound dry cottage cheese or Farmers Cheese
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 egg yolk
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

Equal parts of Cottage Cheese and Cream Cheese may be used, if desired, but we prefer Farmers Cheese when it is available.

Melt butter in a skillet. Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter, swirling around to make a circle.

Fry until lightly brown on bottom and turn out on waxed or parchment paper, browned side up. Fill pancakes with a tablespoon of cheese filling; fold over from both sides and then into envelope shape.

Just before serving, fry in a little butter in a hot skillet until a golden brown on all sides.

Serve hot with sour cream or applesauce, or cinnamon and sugar, or fruit preserves.

Makes 12 blintzes.

Blintzes freeze well.

Thank you so much. This reminds me of the day in my youth (I'm 72 now) when I helped Mom make blintzes. She made the egg crepes (from blatel) and I filled each one with the cottage cheese mixture. I had to work fast to keep up with her. It was a wonderful Mother-Daughter event on a Sunday afternoon and I'm sure I enjoyed the pan fried blintzes even more than usual.

* The only reason I gave you a 4-star rating instead of 5, is that I haven't made it yet since it's snowing outside & I don't have all the ingredients yet.
