Blintzes are a classic Jewish crêpe-like pancake based on the Eastern European blin. (The name itself derived from the Yiddish ['blintze']). Although East European blinis are made with a yeast batter, blintzes typically are not and are often served at the Jewish festival of Shavuot. Though Blintzes can be served plain they are often stuffed with a filling before being oven-baked and served. The recipe given here is for the plain pancake, but there are many recipes for filled blintzes on this site.

Ingredients:

12 Blintzes or crêpes
225g farmer cheese (or Paneer or Queso Blanco)
120g cream cheese
4 tbsp honey
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg yolk

Method:

Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and beat until smooth.

Taking one blintz at a time, place 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of the pancake then fold the edge nearest the filling over the filling then tuck-in the top and bottom and roll into a slim sausage.

Pack the rolls next to one another in a greased baking dish and cover the dish loosely with a sheet of foil and place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. If desired they can be served with blueberry sauce or elderberry sauce.
