Blintzes (Cottage Cheese Pancakes) image

Batter
4 eggs, well beaten
1 C. flour
1 t. salt
1 C. milk
1 C. milk

Filling
1 1/2 lb. farmer's cheese
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 T. butter
1 T. sugar
1 T. lemon juice (optional)

Prepare the filling first. You may use your blender or electric mixer. Cream the cheese with the other ingredients, adding a bit of salt to taste. Use as much lemon juice as is needed to taste slightly tart. Some dry cheese is very tart but some may be bland. To make the batter, add the milk to the eggs and salt. Add the flour gradually, stirring constantly until it is smooth and blended. Heat a heavy 6 inch fry pan and when it is hot, wipe the inside with vegetable shortening, using a paper towel. Pour in enough batter to make a very thin pancake, tipping the pan from side to side quickly until the bottom is covered and then quickly our the remainder of the batter back into the unused portion of batter. The pancake is done as soon as you can shake it loose. Cook on one side only and knock it out onto a wooden board. You may stack the pancakes to fill later. Cook them.

Place a rounded tablespoon of cheese in the center of a pancake. Fold in from opposite sides and then together as an envelope. Before serving, fry in butter until brown on both sides or bake them in the oven. Serve hot with sour cream, strawberry jam or cinnamon and sugar.
