Ingredients
Batter:
-
1 cup milk
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup cold water
-
3 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
cooking spray
-
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
Filling:
-
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese, strained if wet
-
½ cup cream cheese, at room temperature
-
1 large egg
-
3 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided, or more as needed
-
1 medium lemon, zested
-
1 pinch salt
Directions
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Make the batter: Combine milk, flour, water, eggs, oil, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, 1 or 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Let batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk ricotta cheese, cream cheese, egg, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, lemon zest, and salt together in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
-
When batter has rested, heat a 10-inch, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray and pour in about 1/4 cup batter.
-
Immediately swirl batter around to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the surface looks dry, about 1 minute.
-
Flip crêpe and briefly cook the other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat to cook and stack remaining crêpes.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
-
Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons filling onto each crêpe, about 1 inch from the edge nearest you. Fold the edge over filling and flatten slightly.
-
Fold in both sides, then roll crêpe into a small filled rectangle (blintz), ending with the seam on the bottom.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook several blintzes at a time until golden brown, turning gently, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven to firm up the filling, about 12 minutes.
-
Cool blintzes for 10 minutes, then dust lightly with remaining powdered sugar and serve.
Recipe Tip
To make these ahead, refrigerate the rolled-up blintzes after Step 9 until you're ready to serve them, then follow Steps 10 through 12 as directed.
