    Source of Recipe


    Cooking Light Magazine, October 1997

    List of Ingredients





    1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
    4 ounces tub-style light cream cheese (1/2c)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups skim milk
    1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 large eggs
    cooking spray
    2 cups blueberries
    2 teaspoons powdered sugar

    Recipe



    Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl once. Add cream cheese, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla process until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl; cover and chill. Place flour in a medium bowl. Combine milk, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, salt, and eggs, and add to flour, stirring with a whisk until almost smooth. Cover and chill 2 hours.

    Place a l0-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium- high heat until hot. Remove skillet from heat. Pour 3 tablespoons batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers skillet with a thin film. Cook about 1 minute. Carefully lift edge of crepe with a spatula to test for doneness.

    The crepe is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned. Turn crepe over; cook 30 seconds on other side. Place crepe on a towel; cool. Repeat procedure with remaining batter. Stack crepes between single sheets of wax paper or paper towels to prevent sticking. Spoon 3 tablespoons cottage cheese mixture in center of each crepe; fold sides and ends of crepe over filling to form a rectangle.

    Place filled crepes, seam sides down, on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap. (Blintzes may be covered and chilled at this point). Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Place 4 blintzes, seam sides down, in skillet; cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned.Turn blintzes over; cook for 2 minutes. Repeat procedure with remaining blintzes. Serve warm with blueberries, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
