Ingredients

  • ½  cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels about 2 ears, or frozen
  • Extra virgin olive oil for brushing griddle
  •  cups cottage cheese
  • 6 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  • Place the flour, half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, and butter in a blender and process until smooth.
  • Add the corn and blend for a minute longer, until the corn is pureed.
  • Pour the batter into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese and sugar in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to fill blintzes.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Heat a griddle and brush it lightly with oil.
  • Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter onto griddle for each blintz.
  • When bubbles form on top, flip the blintzes and cook until lightly browned.
  • Remove blintzes from griddle and immediately place 1 to 2 tablespoons filling in the center.
  • Roll the blintz and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  • When all the blintzes are filled, place them in the oven to warm, about 10-15 minutes.
  • (Alternatively, you can refrigerate unfilled blintzes, stacking them between sheets of waxed paper and wrapping in plastic, and proceed with recipe when ready to fill.)
  • Serve warm with sautéed apples or pears.
