Cheese Blintzes
4 oz flour
8 fl oz ice water
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
Butter for frying
Cheese Filling
1 lb cottage cheese
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Butter for frying
Make a paste of the flour and ice water. Beat the eggs, together with the salt. Add to the flour and water. Then add the melted butter. Stir and if necessary mix with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth.
Prepare the pan for frying. Drop just enough batter into the hot pan to cover the bottom. Fry, on one side until the edges curl away from the bottom of the pan. Toss onto a cloth, fried side up. Set aside while you then make the cheese filling.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Place a heaped tablespoon of the mixture on each of the fried circles. Turn up the bottom side of the circle to begin making an envelope around the filling. Overlap this with the top side of the circle. Fold the sides and tuck in (or just fold the sides in first, following with the top then bottom flaps) Fry on both sides in butter until browned and crispy.
