Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, butter, and salt. Blend until smooth to create the crepe batter. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to prepare the cheese filling. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter or oil.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly over the entire surface.

Step 5

Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as they finish.

Step 7

Place a crepe on a clean surface or plate. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling along the bottom third of the crepe.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll from the bottom to create a blintz.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Place each blintz seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and heated through.

Step 11

Serve the cheese blintzes warm, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
