  2. Melt a small amount of butter or margarine in a small non-stick fry pan or crepe pan.
  3. Pour in only enough batter in to make a very thin pancake. Do not flip. (Lift edges slightly with a spatula to allow extra batter to run under the pancake.)
  4. Turn cooked pancake out on a dishtowel to cool, fried side up.
  5. Put a dab of cheese filling (ingredients below) in centre of each pancake.
  6. Fold bottom of pancake up over cheese filling, turn in sides, turn top edge of blintz down.
  7. Fry in melted butter until browned. Serve with sour cream if desired.

  • 1 beaten egg
  • salt to taste
