Pesach sweet cheese blintzes
Yield: 5-8 blintzes, depending on the size of your pan
Ingredients
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup potato starch, sifted
¼ cup water
cooking spray
1 cup (250 g) cottage cheese
1 packet (about 2 tsp) vanilla sugar
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp butter
Directions
1. Stir together eggs, potato starch, and water until no clumps remain.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet with a touch of cooking spray. Pour enough blintz batter to just lightly cover the bottom of the skillet (about half a soup ladel), and immediately swirl the skillet to evenly distribute. The batter will start to set right away.
3. When the edges of the blintz are cooked dry (this will take just a few seconds), flip it over with a spatula. You can also use your fingers to flip it (Thanks, Nossi!). Let it cook an additional few seconds on the second side, then transfer from the pan to a plate to let it cool.
4. As you get your blintzes into and out of the pan, take a minute to mix together the filling: Stir cottage cheese, sugars, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
5. Spread two spoonfuls of the filling down the center of a blintz. Fold the left side, bottom, top, then right side, all toward the middle. Finally, fold in half vertically to get that blintz shape we all know and love. (See photos above for an illustrated version of the folding technique.)
6. When your blintzes are assembled, melt 2 Tbsp butter in the skillet and line the blintzes up inside. Let them sit in the sizzling goodness until lightly browned on each side. Serve warm or hot.
