Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (213-gram or 15.03-ounce) packages farmer's cheese, or one recipe Homemade Cottage Cheese
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for hands
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of white vinegar
1 cup raisins
2 tablespoon canola oil
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together cheese, eggs, 3/4 cup flour, sugar, and salt. Place baking soda in a small bowl and add vinegar; mixture will fizz. Add baking soda mixture to bowl with cheese mixture. Using a hand-held electric mixer, mix until firm and solid. Stir in raisins.
  • Place remaining 1/2 cup flour in a small, shallow dish. Working in batches (about four at a time), scoop out cheese mixture using a tablespoon, and, using floured hands, form into a 2 1/4-inch ball. Roll ball in flour mixture and pat using your hands to form a patty shape and remove excess flour.
  • Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add patties and cook until golden brown, turning once, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

These blintzes were okay. The crepes were a little dry, but the cheese filling was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These blintzes were a disappointment. The crepes were thick and rubbery, and the cheese filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I don't think I'll be making these again.

These blintzes were a bit too rich for my taste. The crepes were a little thick, and the cheese filling was very heavy. I think I would prefer a blintz with a thinner crepe and a lighter cheese filling.
