Passover Cheese Blintzes

Ingredients

Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup matzoh cake meal
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Unsalted butter

Filling

  • 1 pound cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Batter: In a mixing bowl beat together the eggs, matzoh cake meal and water to make a thin batter. Mix in salt.
  2. Place a 6-inch skillet over medium heat and brush with butter. Pour about 3 tablespoons batter into the skillet, spreading as thinly as possible by tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Fry until brown and carefully turn out, browned side up, onto a towel. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, salt and sugar. Spread 1 tablespoon of mixture along one side of each blintz. Tuck in the ends and toll up like a jellyroll.
  4. In the same skillet, brown the blintzes in butter, a few at a time, over medium heat and serve hot.
  5. Serve with sour cream or jam.
