As prepared by my mom.
Beat up one egg, 1/2 tsp. salt, add one cup of water and one cup of sifted flour, beat until smooth. grease a frying pan very slightly with butter, pour in two tablespoons of the batter, tilting the pan so as to allow the batter to run all over the pan. Fry over slow heat on one side only, turn out on a clean cloth; let cool.
For filling, use 1/2 pound of pot cheese (farmer cheese), a piece of butter the size of a small egg, add one egg, pinch of salt, a little cinnamon and a TBS (or more) of sugar to taste, and gratged lemon peel. Spread the mixture on the cooled dough, fold over and tuck the edges in as well. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon and fry in plenty of butter. Serve hot.
1 1/2 times batter recipe makes 18 and 2 1/2 lbs or 5 7 1/2 oz pkgs. made 12 blintzes.
I like the butter measurement. A lot. From now on when I post recipes I'll just use measurements that correspond to the other ingredients in the dish. Enough flour to fit in a pint milk carton, a pinch of vanilla, etc.
