Cool Summer Dinner Idea (PIX)

Would you mind sharing your cheese blintz recipe?? Pretty please

Very easy, you begin with a crepe recipe. I cut the recipe in half so it only makes about three crepes.

Crepes

1/2 cup milk
1 tbs melted butter
1 egg
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Filling

Cream Cheese
Powdered Sugar (to taste)
Blend together well.
(Make enough for a heaping tablespoon in each crepe)

Melt butter in warmed milk, let cool a bit, beat in egg, then add dry ingredients, beat together, batter will be thin. Heat a non stick or well seasoned pan. A light coat of oil helps the crepes to not stick. Pour about 1/4 cup in hot pan, tilt pan so batter covers the bottom of the pan. Let it cook on one side until it is dry on the top. Turn over to cook other side. Don't over cook, just lightly browned.

Remove from pan with a good sized spatula, place on a cookie sheet or plate, put filling in center, fold edges over filling to make a small rectangle. Put finished crepes in an oven proof pan. Keep warm in low oven

Glaze

Equal amounts of
Apricot Jam
Butter

(I put the jam and butter in a glass cup, "nuke" it until the butter melts and the jam is liquid.
Stir well, and put over blintz just before serving. )

Thank you!!!

And now that I'm allowed to eat I can give it a try!
