Toppings

Method

Preparing the Blintz Batter

  1. 1

    Make the Blintz Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Blintz Crepes

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, placing cooked crepes on a plate.

Preparing the Filling

  1. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

Assembling and Cooking the Blintzes

  1. 4

    Fill the Blintzes

    Take one crepe and place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll tightly to enclose. Repeat with all crepes and filling.

  2. 5

    Cook the Filled Blintzes

    In the same skillet, add a bit of butter and heat over medium heat. Place the filled blintzes seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serving the Blintzes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a small bowl, mix the blueberries with lemon juice. Set aside. To serve, dust the blintzes with powdered sugar, drizzle with crème de citron bleue, and top with the blueberry mixture and a sprinkle of edible lavender.
