Ingredients
-
1 egg
-
1-1/2 cups skim milk
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
1/2 teaspoon shortening
-
1 15-ounce carton low-fat or light ricotta cheese
-
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2/3 cup light dairy sour cream
-
5 tablespoons orange marmalade
-
1/2 cup fresh raspberries or blueberries
Directions
1.
For crepes, in a medium bowl combine egg, milk, and flour. Beat with rotary beater until well mixed. Spray an unheated 6-inch skillet or crepe pan with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour in about 2 tablespoons batter. Lift and tilt skillet to spread batter. Return skillet to heat; cook 30 to 60 seconds or until browned on 1 side only. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter to make 15 crepes. Lightly brush skillet with shortening between cooking, as needed.
2.
Spray a shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. For filling, in a bowl combine ricotta cheese, the 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, the sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto the unbrowned side of a crepe; spread out slightly. Fold in half. Fold in half again, forming a wedge. Arrange in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining filling and crepes.
3.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. To serve, spoon 2 teaspoons of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of marmalade onto each blintz. Sprinkle with berries. Makes 15 servings.

Summer Vegetable Crepes
Crepes aren't just for dessert--they make a quick and savory weeknight dinner. Here they're filled with ricotta cheese, green beans, zucchini and corn and topped with a chive-cream sauce. Don't skip the step of placing a piece of parchment or wax paper under each crepe as you fill it--without it, the crepes are tricky to roll. Serve with: A tossed salad.
