These versatile dishes straddle the line between elegance and comfort food, making them a perfect choice for any meal.

Batter Preparation

Start by whisking together about 30 grams of flour, 1 medium egg, and 50 ml of milk until the batter is smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid, creating a more cohesive texture.

Cooking

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt about 5 grams of butter to prevent sticking. Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Cook until the edges start to lift from the pan, then flip to cook the other side until golden. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Filling and Serving

For blintzes, spread a generous amount of cheese filling, such as cottage cheese or cream cheese, on one side of the cooked crepe and then roll or fold it. Serve immediately, or for an added touch, quickly fry the filled blintzes in a bit of butter for a crispy exterior.
