Description

These Sweet Corn Blintzes offer a delightful twist on the classic Jewish comfort food, blending savory corn kernels into the delicate batter for a unique texture and flavor. The result is a tender, slightly sweet crepe that perfectly encases a rich, smooth cottage cheese and sugar filling. This dish strikes a wonderful balance between the earthiness of the corn and the creamy tang of the cheese. It serves as an excellent brunch item, a light side dish for holidays, or a unique appetizer. The recipe is straightforward, requiring simple pantry staples and fresh corn, making it an accessible yet impressive addition to your culinary repertoire. Serve them warm for the best experience, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully in every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the flour, half-and-half, eggs, salt, pepper, and melted butter in a blender and process until smooth.
  2. Add the corn kernels to the blender and blend for one minute longer, until the corn is completely pureed into the batter.
  3. Pour the batter into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to rest.
  4. While the batter rests, combine the cottage cheese and sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
  5. Cover the filling and refrigerate until ready to assemble the blintzes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
  7. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
  8. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each blintz, tilting the pan to spread it into a thin circle if necessary.
  9. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip the blintz.
  10. Cook the other side until lightly browned, then remove from the griddle.
  11. Immediately place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese filling in the center of the warm blintz.
  12. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up the blintz, then place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  13. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
  14. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and warm the blintzes for 10-15 minutes.
  15. Serve warm.
