Comment préparer Grandma's Cheese Blintzes
- **Prepare the Cheese Filling:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces farmer's cheese (or 15 ounces ricotta), 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- **Make the Crepe Batter:**
- In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Blend until the batter is completely smooth. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until you achieve a thin, pourable consistency.
- **Cook the Crepes:**
- Heat a lightly oiled 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the hot skillet, tilting to spread the batter thinly and evenly into a circle.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the edges begin to lift from the pan.
- Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a clean kitchen towel or wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly oiling the pan between each crepe.
- **Important:** Do not stack the crepes until they are completely cool to prevent them from sticking.
- **Assemble and Bake the Blintzes:**
- Once the crepes are completely cool, spread them out on a clean surface. Place approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese filling in the center of each crepe.
- Fold the sides of the crepe inward, then roll it up tightly into an envelope shape.
- In a lightly oiled skillet, gently fry the assembled blintzes over medium heat, turning to lightly brown on both sides.
- Transfer the blintzes to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 15 minutes. This gently warms the filling and helps maintain its creamy texture.
- Serve warm with your choice of cinnamon sugar, sour cream, or jelly.
