Made blintzes yesterday using my new Bialetty frying pan, loved it. Used almost No oil.
Crapes:
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1t. spoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Filling:
About 2 cups of farmer’s cheese
1 t. spoon salt
2 T. spoons sugar (could have added more)
2 eggs mix well
To make crapes: Mix everything well, make sure there are no lumps.
I used 10 inch frying pan (my mother uses 8 inch pan, she likes to make them small), end up with 13 crapes. The first 2-3 were pretty thick, but then I got the hang of it and the last ones were pretty nice and thin. And that is what you really want.
Make sure the pan is very hot, poor batter into pan and swirl around so the batter spreads evenly around the pan. Fry lightly on both sides.
Mix the filling put it in the middle of the crape, fold it like an envelope. Fry the side with end first, so it doesn’t unfold. It is better to put the filling on the side that is fried more.
