Then quickly pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the hot skillet. Working quickly, lift and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. Use a flexible spatula to shape the edges of the blintz into an even circle. Cook until the top appears set and almost dry. Editor's Tip: Make sure to measure the batter (don't eyeball it) as you add it to the pan. This will ensure the blintzes are the proper thickness. Too thin and blintzes will tear while folding or get too dark while cooking. Too thick and they won't cook properly and will be hard to fill and fold.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cheese-blintzes-052820-TOH-08.jpg?fit=1024,640"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Flip","text":"Next, carefully flip the blintz over. For best results use a thin, flexible silicone or rubber spatula. Once flipped, gently reshape so the blintz is flat and then cook for 15 to 20 seconds longer. Move it to a wire rack. Repeat steps three and four with the remaining batter. Editor's Tip: In testing, we found that a single wooden or plastic chopstick works best to help lift and pull the blintz onto the spatula before flipping. It helps prevent tearing and get enough blintz onto the spatula for an easy flip every time.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cheese-blintzes-052820-TOH-09.jpg?fit=1024,640"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Cool the blintzes","text":"When all the blintzes have been cooked, stack them between sheets of waxed paper, parchment or paper towels.

Most of the time they would be served plate sized flat. We would sprinkle sugar and \/or homemade current jelly on them ourselves. Several of them were considered a meal, not desert!

There are some tricks that I would like to share. First of all, you need to add 4 tablespoons of batter to the 8-inch skillet. 2 tablespoons only coats half of the pan.

Lastly, it takes a long time to cook & flip each individual crepe; next time I am going to try to have 2 pans going at once. Last time I made these, I made the crepes the day before in order to save time. These are easy, but time-consuming.
