How to Make Grandma Reilkoff's Authentic Russian Blintze

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all batter ingredients until smooth and slightly lumpy. The batter should be thin and pourable, like heavy cream.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, tilting to spread into a thin 6-inch circle.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently lift and flip the blintz.
  4. Once cooked, remove the blintz from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. While still warm, brush each blintz with melted butter. Fill with your desired sweet or savory filling, then roll up tightly.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, sour cream or your favorite toppings.
