Instructions
Step 1
Put 1 cup of regular all-purpose flour into a pot, continue to add two eggs, three tablespoons of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt,1 tbsp sugar, a quarter cup of cold water, 1 cup milk, go ahead and stir well. Throw that in the fridge for 1 hour, and then we're getting our blintz on.
Step 2
Put 1/2 cup real fruit preserves into a pan, then add in 1-2 tbsp cold water,bring to a simmer on low heat to get an instant fruit sauce. Bring that to a simmer on low heat, and you're going to have an instant fruit sauce.
Step 3
Put 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, a half cups of ricotta cheese, some confectioner's sugar, one whole egg, 3 tbsp powdered sugar into a bowl, and leave it out at room temperature. Before mix this up, we're going to do the zest of lemon, about a tablespoon - and that is our blintz filling. Now mix them up, then put in the fridge. when our crepes are ready, we're going to start filling.
Step 4
Put butter into a Non-stick pan over a medium heat, go ahead and dump in your batter right in the center. Almost in real time here, you can see that crepe just drying out and cooking through. After 1.5 minutes, flip that over. Alright, our crepes are ready to stuff.
Step 5
Spoon the filling in the center, the roll it up into a blintz-like shape. Take a buttered baking dish, and transfer them very carefully, with the seam-side down into the baking dish. repeat the process for the rest of those.
Step 6
Put a few tbsp of butter into a pan, Heat the pan. when the butter foams, lay the blintzes in. Brown on both sides.Then transfer them back over to our casserole dish. Put in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes. that's just to set the cheese and cook the egg through, and then we're going to plate it up, and it's going to be amazing.
Step 7
The blintzes are done. They baked at 400 for ten minutes - the egg is cooked, they firmed up. Place our hot blintzes in a plate, give it a little powdered sugar. enjoy.
