Cinnamon Blintzes To Freeze Food

BLINTZES

Steps:

• Cheese Filling: Combine filling ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Place bowl in freezer to chill filling while you cook the blintzes.
• Make Batter: Add milk, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
• Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour roughly ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion until the batter is in a thin, circle in the pan. Cook until lightly golden on the bottom, then flip and cook on the other side. Remove to a plate and keep warm while you continue cooking all the blintzes.
• Add Filling: Place a big spoonful of the filling onto the pancake, about 1 inch from the bottom. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining blintzes.
• Pan Fry: Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, work in batches to toast the blintzes seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 on each side, just until until golden brown all over. Serve with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and powdered sugar.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, water, and vanilla.

• Stir out any remaining lumps.
• Spray a 5-7 inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat (but not so that crepe will brown) Pour in a thin layer of batter until the bottom of the skillet is covered. When crepe stars to bubble, use fingers to flip over. Cook for another minute or so then cool on a clean dish towel.
• Store cooled crepes between 6x6-inch squares of waxed paper.
• Mix cottage cheese, cinnamon, and sugar to taste.
• Fill crepes. Roll up, folding in the edges (like a burrito). Wrap in wax paper. Freeze.
