   💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
4. 4
   Pour in a small ladle of batter and swirl the pan into a thin, even layer.

   💡The first crêpe almost always gets tossed: it tests the heat of the pan and the amount of batter.
5. 5
   Fry about 2 minutes, until the edges dry and brown lightly, flip and fry 20–30 more seconds. Repeat until the batter is used up.

To assemble

1. 6
   Mix the cheese, egg, parsley, salt and black pepper into a filling.
2. 7
   Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each crepe and fold into a square parcel.

   💡Fold the crepe with the golden side out: it holds up during frying and the filling doesn't escape.
3. 8
   Heat the butter in a skillet and fry the blintzes 3 minutes per side, until browned.
