These were not my favorite. I love pancakes, but these aren’t pancakes to me. They were spongy, thin and didn’t ever seem done enough for me. I didn’t fry them in butter. I used a griddle set a little lower than 350 because they kept get overdone on the outside. My little man enjoyed them, but I wouldn’t make these again for myself.
I love cheese and I love this blintz pancakes. Great, simple ingredients list with one of my favourite protein sources – cottage cheese :) Fantastic breakfast food for sure!
I used Ricotta which I had on hand an omitted the maple syrup. They were delecious! My 2 year old and hubby gobbled them down. I slathered with jelly and rolled up for my daughter and served fresh fruit on the side :)
I completely misread the cheese ingredient and did these with cream cheese. They were amazing!!
Just made and served with pumpkin fluff. Delicious
It doesn’t seem worth dirtying a blender for 30 seconds. Would a stick blender work for this? It’s easier to clean.
Hi! Let us know how that works. ;)
Pancakes are great for breakfast and snack. You can even put some of your favorite food like chocolate chips or chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, corn and you can even put bacon and you will surely enjoy.
These were great! Kids and I loved it.
