Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for sweet blintzes)
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk gently to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into the well and add the milk. Begin whisking slowly, incorporating the flour mixture gradually to form a smooth batter.

Step 3

Stir in the melted butter, water, and vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined. The batter should be thin and lump-free. If necessary, strain the batter through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.

Step 4

Cover the batter and let it rest for 15–20 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax and ensures tender blintzes.

Step 5

When ready to cook, heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and immediately swirl it around to create a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Carefully flip the blintz and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side.

Step 8

Remove the cooked blintz from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the blintzes with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Fill the blintzes with your desired sweet or savory filling, fold, and serve warm. Enjoy!
