Directions
For the blintzes:
Place 3 eggs, flour, milk, water, Canola Oil, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, 1 or 2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed. Let batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Whisk together ricotta cheese, cream cheese, lemon zest, egg, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate.
Heat a 10-inch, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray Canola Oil. Pour in about 1/4 cup batter. Immediately swirl batter around to coat the bottom of pan. Cook until the surface looks dry, about 1 minute. Flip crepe over to briefly cook other side, about 30 seconds. Remove to a plate. Repeat with the rest of batter. Stack crepes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking dish with Canola Cooking Spray.
Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling onto the crepe, about an inch from edge nearest you. Fold edge over filling and flatten slightly. Fold in both sides, then roll up crepe into a small, filled rectangle, ending with the seam on the bottom, creating a blintz.
- Generously coat skillet with Canola Oil and bring to medium heat. Cook the blintzes until golden brown on both sides, turning gently, about 2 minutes. Transfer to coated baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven to firm up the filling, about 12 minutes. Cool blintzes 10 minutes before serving. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
For the strawberry-rhubarb chutney:
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for another 10 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender and the fruit is all broken down and chunky.
- Serve on the side or drizzle over the top of the blintzes.
