Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk (I use 1%)
- 4 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter divided use, plus more for coating the pan
For the filling
- 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For serving
- 1 recipe raspberry sauce
- 1 cup fresh berries
- mint sprigs for garnish
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
For the pancakes
- Pour flour, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter into a blender.
- Puree until mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. Let batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before you use it.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet on medium heat. Lightly coat with additional butter. Add 1/4 cup batter and swirl to completely cover bottom of skillet. Cook until underside of pancake is golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
- Loosen edge of pancake with a spatula, then with your fingertips, quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more. Slide pancake out of skillet and repeat with remaining batter.
For the filling
- Place the filling ingredients in a bowl, then stir until well combined.
For assembly
- Lay a pancake out on a flat surface. Place 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the pancake, about 1 inch away from the bottom of the pancake.
- Fold the bottom edge over the filling. Fold both sides in, then gently roll the blintz all the way up. Repeat the process with remaining pancakes and filling.
- Place the blintzes in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until firm,
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Place the blintzes in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. You may need to work in batches.
- Serve the blintzes with raspberry sauce, powdered sugar and berries. Garnish with mint sprigs if desired.
