Cheese blintzes...

Yet another unhealthy recipe from me!

Blintz recipe:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract (not that fake crap)
Pinch or two of salt

Cheese filling recipe:

1 cup of cottage cheese (drained)
8oz package cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (again, use real)
1 egg yolk
Lemon juice or zest to taste (optional)

Mix all blintz ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set in fridge for now.

Now I take the cottage cheese and put in a cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess whey. Now mix all filling ingredients. Put in fridge.

Take an 8" or so skillet and spray with Pam. Pour about a 1/4 cup of blintz batter into pan and immediately swirl around the bottom to create a thin layer covering the bottom. It'll be like a tortilla. Cook until lightly browned and flip and brown that side. Place on plate and repeat until batter is used up.

Take blintz "tortillas" and put a scoop of filling in the center and fold/roll like a burrito. Repeat.

Next I like to either put a bit on oil in the pan and fry them on each side until browned and crispy or I put them in baking pan sprayed with Pam and throw them in the oven at 200 degrees until warmed up. Just depends on my mood (today was done in the oven).

I put a little dark chocolate drizzle on these today, but fruit pie filling goes great on them. Or whipped cream. Or whatever else that sounds good.

Cut that sumbitch in half and show us the goods.
 
I am sick and tired of no money shots, and not being able to eat those.
 
:mope:
I've got two leftover for breakfast. I'll cut one open for you then.

I guess I shouldn't mention the perfectly cooked ribeyes and twice baked potatoes I made tonight that I didn't get money shots of. Yeah, I cooked those steaks in the bacon grease from the bacon I put in the potatoes...

I would have to put on my eating pants (sweat pants)  to tackle  those dish's....they always stretch out nicely when I have serious eating to do that require wearing pants.
