Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow any bubbles to settle.
-
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
-
Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray.
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it around to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift.
-
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. You should have about 8 crepes.
-
Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the center of each crepe. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll the crepe to enclose the filling completely.
-
Place the filled blintzes, seam side down, back in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
-
Serve the cheese blintzes warm, topped with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
