Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and salt until smooth and lump-free to create the crepe batter.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 3

Pour in just enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the skillet, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and repeat until all the batter is used. This recipe makes about 12 crepes.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set the filling aside.

Step 6

Place a crepe on a clean surface, browned side down. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the center of the crepe, then fold the sides over the filling and roll it up like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 7

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the filled blintzes seam-side down in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries, if desired.
