½ tsp. Salt

1 Egg, beaten

½ tsp. Vanilla

¼ C. dried Cherries

¼ C. sliced Almonds

¾ C. Skim Milk

2 Eggs, well beaten

1 C. sifted Flour

¼ tsp. Salt

2 tsp. Olive Oil

 

In a small bowl, prepare filling.  Mix cottage cheese with salt, egg, vanilla, dried cherries and almonds. To prepare batter, stir milk into beaten eggs and gradually fold in flour and salt.  Beat until smooth.  Heat a bit of the oil in a 7” skillet over medium heat.  Pour enough batter in to the hot pan to just cover the bottom. As soon as the edges begin to curl away from the pan, turn out onto wax paper and spread with a spoonful of the cheese filling.  Fold sides over to make a neat package.  Make additional blintzes with remaining batter and filling.  Place filled blitzes on a hot buttered frying pan and cook until browned.  Turn and cook on the other side.  Serve at once.
