Cheese and Lemon Blintzes image

Traditionally, blintzes are associated with Shavuot. This is a traditional holiday breakfast for our family. Rolled pancakes filled with cheese, fruit or both, they make a delicious dessert. Sweet blintzes carry on the tradition of cheese and fruit fillings. Serve either with sour cream and powdered sugar, or maple or chocolate syrup. We like to serve them with fruit pie fillings, like apples, blueberries, or cherries, and then put a dollop of sour cream and powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on them.

Time 34m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
cooking spray
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup raisins
3 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix flour, eggs, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Lightly coat a small skillet with cooking spray. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet. Swirl around until even and then place skillet over medium heat. Cook until sides begin to curl away, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook other side until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Put onto a plate.
  • Mix cream cheese, raisins, sugar, egg yolks, lemon peel, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make the filling. Place 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling on each blintz and roll up like a small burrito.

These blintzes were a bit of a disappointment. The crepes were too thick and rubbery, and the filling was bland.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but these blintzes were surprisingly good! The lemon flavor really balanced out the cheese, and the crepes were cooked perfectly.

The blintzes were good, but the crepes were a little too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be thinner and more delicate.

These blintzes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if the filling had been less sweet and more savory.

These blintzes were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more lemon zest to the filling.
