Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/4 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of fruit preserves (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set and the edges are lightly browned. Flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 crepes.
- In a bowl, mix 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the cheese filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up to enclose.
- In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Place the filled blintzes seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve the blintzes with a dollop of sour cream and fruit preserves, if desired. Enjoy!
Blintzes, a beloved dish in Jewish cuisine, have a rich history dating back to Eastern Europe.

Today, they are enjoyed as a versatile treat, whether as a breakfast indulgence or a delightful dessert. In New York City, the famous B&H Dairy restaurant has been serving up delicious blintzes for decades, while in Israel, the bustling markets offer a variety of fillings, from classic cheese to modern interpretations with savory ingredients.
