Cheese Blintzes Instructions

Sift the flour and the sugar into a bowl. Make a depression in the center, add the egg yolks and the sugar, and mix slowly into the flour. Add the milk and water little by little and combine until you obtain a smooth batter or mix everything with a mixer at highest speed for a minute. Cover and let rest for two hours or overnight in the fridge.

Combine all the ingredients for the filling and set aside.

Grease a frying pan with a little oil and place over medium heat. When the oil is very hot, take the pan off the flame and add 4 tablespoons of batter to the center of the pan. Tilt it in all directions to distribute the batter. Place the pan over the heat for 1 minute until the batter starts to thicken. Shake to loosen the sides. Then turn the pancake using a broad knife or spatula, lifting it and flipping it over.

The other side of the pancake will brown in about 30 seconds. Slide it onto an ovenproof dish and keep it warm while baking the rest.

Place a generous heap of filling on each pancake and fold it twice so it resembles a fan. Brown the blintzes in butter and serve with sour cream or jam.
