Blueberry Blintzes


Courtesy of World Wide Recipes.com

This "Eclectic Epicurean" breakfast treat makes good use of my favorite berries.

For the blintzes:
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
Butter for frying

For the filling:
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) cottage cheese or ricotta
1 cup (250 ml) fresh or thawed frozen blueberries (reserve about 1/4 cup (60 ml) for garnish)
2 Tbs (30 ml) bread crumbs
2 Tbs (30 ml) sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar for garnish, optional

For the blintzes, combine the flour, eggs, milk, and salt in an electric blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Melt a small amount of butter in a crepe pan or 8-inch (20 cm) non-stick skillet over moderate heat. Pour in just enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan and cook on both sides until light golden brown. Turn onto a plate and repeat to make the remaining blintzes. 

Combine the filling ingredients and stir to mix thoroughly. Place a spoonful on each blintz, fold the ends towards the center and roll up. Melt a little butter in a sauté pan and sauté the blintzes until golden on both sides. Garnish with reserved blueberries and powdered sugar if desired. Serves 6 to 8.
