CHEESE BLINTZES

 

margarine or butter

1  1/2 cups milk

2/3 cup flour

1/4 tea. salt

4 large eggs

2  8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1  8 oz. container cottage cheese

3 tab. confectioners' sugar

3/4 tea. vanilla

1/2  21 oz. can blueberry pie filling

1/2 tea. grated lemon peel

sour cream (optional)

 

     In bowl, with wire whisk, beat 2 tab. melted margarine with milk, salt, and 3 eggs.  Refrigerate 2 hours to allow flour to absorb liquid for a tender crepe.  With mixer at medium speed, beat cheeses, sugar, vanilla and 1 egg until smooth.  Brush 7'' crepe pan with melted margarine; heat over medium heat.  Pour in scant 1/4 cup batter.  Cook 1 min. until top is set.  Invert onto waxed paper.  Repeat.

     Heat pie filling with lemon peel; keep sauce warm.  Place 1/4 cup cheese mixture in center on browned side of  each crepe; fold to make a package.  In 10-inch skillet over medium heat, in 1 tablespoon hot margarine, cook half of blintzes at a time, until golden.  Serve hot with blueberry sauce and, if you like, sour cream. Makes 12.
