Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the batter is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the crepe appear set and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5

To assemble the blintzes, take one crepe and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the sides of the crepe in, then roll it up into a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 6

Once all the blintzes are assembled, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled blintzes seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and warmed through.

Step 7

Serve the cinnamon blintzes warm, dusted with powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
