Ingredients
- 1 each Egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 pound Potcheese (or farmer's cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 each Egg
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Lemon peel, grated (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Oil or butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, whisk together the egg and salt. Add the water and flour, and whisk until the batter is smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- 2Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan with butter or oil and heat over medium-low heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter thinly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side only, until the edges are set. Carefully flip the crepe and transfer it to a clean cloth with the uncooked side facing up. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- 3In a bowl, combine the potcheese, butter, egg, salt, cinnamon, sugar, and grated lemon peel. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- 4Spread a portion of the cheese mixture onto each cooled crepe. Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then fold the bottom edge up and the top edge down, tucking the edges in to seal. Heat oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Fry the blintzes until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving hot.
