Cheese blintzes!
This took a bit of work, but it is totally worth it. You may not want to eat anything for the rest of the day (or the week!) seeing how there is a lot of oil, carbs, cheese, etc. in this.
For the blintz batter, you'll need:
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
smidge of vanilla extract
tiny amt. of salt
1 TBsp. oil
1. Whisk the eggs together in a medium sized bowl. Add the other liquids.
2. Now add the dry goods.
3. In a medium frying pan, spread a little oil on the pan. Make sure it's hot, but not too hot- I used the first blintz as a "test."
4. Pour 1/4 cup of the blintz batter into the hot frying pan, and once bubbles emerge from the top, remove it from the pan onto foil. (Don't 'flip' the blintz, like a pancake).
For the filling, you'll need:
1 lb. cottage cheese, strained
2 egg yolks
2 TBsps flour
2 TBsps sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1. On the blintzes, add about a tablespoon of the filling into the blintz and roll it up.
2. Place back in the frying pan and brown on each side, then put back onto the foil and bake at 375* for about 10-15 minutes.
For the Fruit Compote, you'll need:
1 apple
2 bananas
(or any fruit that you'd like)
sugar
water
cornstarch
cinnamon
1. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Add a bunch of sugar (like my measurement? haha) and let it dissolve. Add cornstarch, whisk with a fork so it doesn't clump.
2. Add fruit that is cut up to the mixture, reduce to a simmer. Add cinnamon and any other desired spices.
Takes about 45 minutes to prepare, 15 minutes to cook, so about an hour total (it took me a little longer; this was the first time I've made them).
