BLINTZ PANCAKES
Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese, sour cream, and vanilla. 2. In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients (except the sugar), then gently stir into the cheese mixture. 3. Using a standing mixer fitted with a whisk or a handheld mixer, mix the egg whites and sugar together until soft peaks form. They will have doubled in volume; do not overmix or they will become dry. 4. With a spatula, mix in one third of the whites to lighten the cheese mixture, and then gently fold in the rest of the whites. 5. Spray a large griddle or nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat the pan over medium-high heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure or large spoon, drop dollops of batter onto the hot pan and smooth to form silver dollar pancakes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly golden brown and turn, cooking an additional 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through. Keep warm as you cook the remaining batter. 6. For the syrup: combine the maple syrup and the blueberries in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the mixture is warm, stirring occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Tips:
- For a crispier blintz, cook it in a hot pan with a little oil or butter.
- If you don't have a blintz pan, you can use a regular frying pan.
- To make sure the blintz is cooked through, cook it for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown.
- Serve blintzes with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, fruit, or meat.
- Blintzes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
