👨‍🍳 Method

For the Crepe Batter

  1. 1
    Whisk the eggs and milk with the salt in a bowl, add the gluten-free flour blend and mix to a smooth batter.
    BowlWhisk
  2. 2
    Heat a flat pan and grease lightly.

    💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
  3. 3
    Pour in a small ladle of batter and swirl the pan into a thin, even layer.
    Ladle
    💡The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.
  4. 4
    Fry about 1 minute, until the edges dry and brown lightly, flip and fry 20–30 more seconds. Repeat until the batter is used up.

To assemble

    Mix the cheese, sugar and vanilla into a filling.
  2. 6
    Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each crepe and fold into a square parcel.

  3. 7
    Heat butter in a skillet and fry the blintzes 2–3 minutes per side, until browned.
