Ingredients

For the blintzes:

For the filling:

For the berries:

Directions

For the blintzes: Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and whisk until evenly combined, about 30 strokes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Rub the pan with a paper towel dipped in oil. To check that the pan is properly heated, sprinkle the pan with a few drops of water and the water will "dance" around before evaporating.

Add 1/4 cup batter, tilting the pan to evenly cover or spread out in a circle using the back of a spoon. Cook until just set and browned, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and repeat with remaining batter. (Can be made up to 1 month ahead. Stack crepes and store covered in the freezer.)

For the filling: Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead.)

For the berries: Combine sugar, water, and 1/2 cup of the berries in a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the berries break down, sugar is dissolved, and mixture has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the remaining berries to a small bowl and pour in the syrup. Stir in the lemon juice and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead.) Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

To assemble: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the filling down the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe over the filling, fold in the sides and roll up like a burrito. Put on a baking sheet and repeat until all the crepes have been filled. Bake until warmed through, (the internal temperature should register 160 to 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer) and filling is soft, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the berries.

    These were the best blintzes I have ever tasted! I had never made blintzes before, but I pulled it off pretty well. The recipe was amazing, no changes were needed. There was a little bit extra blueberry sauce, but that wasn't a problem.... I made everything the night before and refrigerated it. The ratio of blintzes to filling was perfect. My family and I absolutely LOVED them! I am 13 and it was way easy for me. I have already established myself as the dessert and breakfast maker of my family, as I am trying to get as much experience as possible for scholarships before I (hopefully go to the Culinary Institute of America.

    I made these yesterday, and my husband gave it a huge THUMBS UP! Having never made blintzes before, I found it to be easy, although a bit labor intensive. After I got my assembly line going, it went rather quickly. Because I didn't have whole milk on hand, I used almond milk, and the blintze came out tender, and today, as leftovers, its still very, very good. Thank you for sharing, and this is definitely a keeper! I plan to make a stack of blintzes to freeze and keep on hand, as I prefer the savory filling. You made me shine, Aida!

    I made these this morning for my husband and he said that this is the BEST crepe recipe that I have made so far. The lemon zest in the filling makes the whole thing (in my opinion it just makes them taste so light and refreshing. I didn't have ricotta so I just had the cream cheese filling and they still came out wonderful.
