Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and salt until you achieve a smooth and creamy batter. Ensure there are no lumps for the perfect blintz consistency. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly coat a small, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even circle. Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook until the edges begin to set and curl slightly, approximately 2 minutes. Carefully flip the blintz and cook the other side until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the blintzes as you go. (25 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, raisins, sugar, egg yolks, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the filling is smooth and luscious. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Place 2 to 3 teaspoons of the cheese filling onto the center of each blintz. Fold in the sides and roll it up like a small burrito, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed. (15 minutes)

05

Step

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Gently place the filled blintzes in the skillet, seam-side down. Cook, turning carefully, until golden brown and heated through, about 30 seconds per side. (10 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, dust the finished blintzes with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
Consider adding a drizzle of maple syrup, chocolate sauce, or a homemade fruit compote for a truly decadent experience.
Feel free to substitute the raisins with other dried fruits, such as chopped apricots or cranberries.
The blintzes can be made ahead of time and gently reheated in a skillet with butter just before serving.
