Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Cottage cheese or farmer's cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, eggs, melted butter, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 2

Cover the batter and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.

Step 3

While the batter rests, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese or farmer's cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around quickly to form a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds on the other side. Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

To assemble the blintzes, place 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling near the edge of a crepe. Fold the sides in, then roll the crepe tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the other crepes and filling.

Step 7

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Cook each filled blintz for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and warmed through.

Step 8

Serve the blintzes warm with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar, if desired.
