• 3 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup flour
• 3 tablespoons oil
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Cheese Filling (recipe follows)
• Fine sugar for dusting

In a medium bowl blend the eggs, milk, flour, oil, salt, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well to form a smooth batter. Heat a 6-inch skillet and grease well. Ladle in enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook until lightly browned and dry; lift out with a spatula and cool. Grease the pan for each additional blintz. Prepare the Cheese Filling. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling on the browned side of the skin. Fold the edges over to form an envelope. Fry in the butter or oil until nicely browned on both sides. Serve hot, sprinkled with fine sugar.

• 1/2 cup farmer cheese
• 1/2 cup bakers cheese
• 1-1/2 teaspoons flour
• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon sugar

Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

You can substitute dry cottage cheese or pot cheese for farmer cheese; ricotta can replace bakers cheese.
