When I was growing up we got to pick out birthday meals - all of them - breakfast, lunch, & dinner. 9 times out of 10 we each picked Blintzes. Our family's rendition of blintzes comes from the Better Homes & Gardens "New" Cook Book (mine is the 1976 version). We call that cookbook our family bible of cookbooks. If you go to a restaurant and order blintzes, you'll get some crepe-like pancakes filled with a cottage cheese-y filling. These are an entirely different beast... The pancake part is only a few ingredients: flour, cottage cheese, sour cream, a pinch of salt and some sugar. Then it's topped with a mixture of sour cream and strawberry jam and finished with powdered sugar. Try it - you'll like it - you will see!*Note: the picture shows only two blintzes on a plate... but NOBODY I know has only eaten 2 of these babies! :o)
