Cheesy Pancakes aka Blintzes

An old family recipe that I enjoy making from time to time is our family's version of a cheese blintz. Really it is just as described in the title, a cheesy pancake. These things are a big hit with the daughter and taste great with things such as: applesauce, sour cream or jam on top. Yum.

The recipe:

1/2 lb of farmers (hoop) cheese - you can get this cheese at Whole Foods

1 egg

1/2 cup flour

2 tbs

p sugar

Mix all things together and then:

I use a griddle (electric, turned up to about 375 degrees).

Scoop table spoon out onto well buttered griddle (I slather the griddle between each batch with a stick of butter, not the entire stick each time to be clear, to ensure lots of buttery goodness). An electric griddle can easily hold 12 at a time.

Once all 12 are scooped onto griddle, flip them all.

Once flipped smoosh (highly technical term, also note that you should flip ALL of them prior to starting to smoosh them) them down so they are about 1/4" thick.

Allow to cook a bit until browned on bottom then flip again. Allow uncooked part time to brown then serve.

These things are great cold, heated, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You name it. It is very easy to double, triple or even make a 6x or 8x batch (I just made a 6x with 3lbs of cheese).

Enjoy!
