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
3 tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
900g button mushrooms, sliced
45g green bell pepper, diced
3 tbsp plain flour
240ml milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried basil
450g Mozzarella cheese, grated

Method:

Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan and use to fry the onion, garlic, mushrooms and green bell pepper for about 10 minutes. Add the flour and stir slowly into the butter. Whilst stirring all the time add the milk in a steady stream then stir rapidly to ensure that the sauce is smooth.

Season with the salt, black pepper an basil and cook on low heat until the mixture thickens then stir-in the cheese and continue cooking until the cheese has melted.

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.
