Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Cheese Blintzes.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend together flour, eggs, and salt until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy batter.
Step 2
Heat a small skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
Step 3
Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, swirling it to form a thin, even layer.
Step 4
Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift, then gently flip and cook for another minute until it achieves a light golden hue.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the crepe to a plate.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, raisins, sugar, egg yolks, lemon peel, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to create a delightful filling.
Step 7
Spoon 2 to 3 teaspoons of this luscious filling onto each crepe and roll it up like a burrito, tucking in the sides for a neat finish.
Step 8
Return to the skillet, melting butter over medium heat.
Step 9
Add the filled blintzes, turning them with care, and cook until they are beautifully golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side.
Step 10
Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your homemade blintzes, perfect for any occasion.
