How to Make Easy Cheese Blintz Puff

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a blender or mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add milk, eggs, and melted butter; blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour 1 1/2 cups of batter into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the bottom layer is set, remove the pan from the oven and evenly spread the cheese filling over the batter.
  8. Gently pour the remaining batter over the cheese filling, ensuring it's completely covered.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the blintz puff cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
  11. Serve warm, optionally topped with sour cream, fruit preserves, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
