Blintzes are a glorified pancake - or crepe, if you will.
We certainly will. We love these.
Love them, I tell you. With the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. My 'I hate breakfast' kid will eat four of them. FOUR. This is nothing short of miraculous.
Here's a great recipe for crepes from allrecipes.com. Make them very thin so they'll be easy to fold up. To turn the crepes into blintzes, you fill them with a sweet cheesy mixture and then fold them up and cook them again.
Blintz Filling
www.rurification.com
- 1 package cream cheese, 8 oz or 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- splash of vanilla
- optional 2 Tablespoons marmalade
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with generous amounts of marmalade or jam.
Tip: Have two skillets going - one for the crepes and one for the blintzes. You only need small skillets. You do not need special pans.
As fabulously decadent as it sounds, I will probably skip this coz it sounds like too much work for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you guys and how the building was going in the snow. Hope the roads are at least reasonable by this point (although the forecast says more will come...ugh).
Happy New Year's Eve!
This...these...my breakfast in the morning! Wow...my mouth immediately filled with saliva within seconds of the photo loading. They do look divine. Thank you! Happy New Year, Robin and fam. I wish you joy and abundance for the entire year and beyond! By the way, how did you spawn a kid who hates BREAKFAST? Is it breakfast food or breakfast TIME? Time I can see. Food? Lord! How can that be!?
ReplyDeleteMy children are both ADHD and have very plain palates...While the cream cheese /jam sounds delicious I am too scared to make them as I would probably be left with a plateful ..to eat all by myself..haha
ReplyDeleteMy kids do however LOVE a plain pancake with simple cinnamon and sugar..
I must thank you for the link up to allrecipes, my only goto cooking site thus far has been "finecooking"..I just love you and other bloggers who share websites and other links that you have come across and found useful..I usually do, too!
Ps. Have truly enjoyed watching your YOUTUBE tuts and am rationing myself on the remaining! Love and new year greetings from Gauteng South Africa!
Do you prefer the Ricotta or cream cheese? I'm thinking we need these for Valentines Day with some yummy strawberry sauce.
ReplyDeleteI like them both ways. They're a bit lighter with ricotta - but ricotta has a grainy texture that some people don't like.
