Ingredients
For the Blintz Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Additional lemon zest, if desired
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and well-blended.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling it to form a thin pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking the cooked blintzes on a plate.
- Once all blintzes are cooked, lay one blintz on a plate, add a generous spoonful of the cheese filling down the center, and fold in the sides. Roll tightly to enclose the filling.
- To serve, top the blintzes with fresh mixed berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and additional lemon zest if desired. Enjoy your delicious Triple Berry Lemon Cheese Blintzes!
