Step 1
Place, in a large bowl, three large eggs, 1/2 c. milk, 1/4 c. oil, 1 c. flour, 2 tbsp. sugar, a dash of salt and 1/4 c. water.
-
Step 2
Whisk together all ingredients. It should be a thin batter.
-
Step 3
Add a bit more flour if you want a thicker, more controllable batter.
-
Step 4
Let the batter rest.
-
Step 5
Use another bowl for the filling. Mix 8 oz. cream cheese, 8 oz. cottage cheese, 2 tbsp. sugar, a dash of salt. Allow to warm to room temperature.
-
Step 6
Mix until smooth and well-blended.
-
Step 7
Place a frying pan on a stove burner until it becomes very hot.
-
Step 8
Add a teaspoon of butter to the pan and rotate the pan off and on the heat so that the butter coats the bottom.
-
Step 9
Use a ladle to drop enough of the batter into the frying pan to cover the bottom.
-
Step 10
Rotate the pan so that it's covered with batter.
-
Step 11

Step 12
Allow the batter to cook until the center bubbles and the crepe slides in the pan.
-
Step 13
Place in a plate.
-
Step 14
Add a tablespoon of filling and wrap the blintz: fold the sides in first, then one end and then the other end (like an envelope).
-
Step 15
Place the blintz edge-side down on a plate to cool.
-
Step 16
Use the remainder of the batter to make individual blintzes. When all are made, place a stick of butter in the frying pan and let it melt.
-
Step 17
Fry all the blintzes until they're golden in color.
-
Step 18
Place them on a paper towel to drain.
