Step 3

Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour roughly ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion until the batter is in a thin, circle in the pan. Cook until lightly golden on the bottom, then flip and cook on the other side. Remove to a plate and keep warm while you continue cooking all the blintzes.

Step 4

Add Filling: Place a big spoonful of the filling onto the pancake, about 1 inch from the bottom. Fold both sides in, then roll all the way up, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining blintzes.

Step 5

Pan Fry: Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or coconut oil) in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, work in batches to toast the blintzes seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 on each side, just until until golden brown all over. Serve with desired toppings.
