My mother is a wonderful cook who always likes to prepare (and improve on!) dishes she's sampled at restaurants. That's what I did with these blintzes, and my family loves my fruity version even more than the original.

Ingredients

BLINTZES:
9 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups 2% milk
FILLING:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Pureed raspberries or strawberries
Whipped cream, optional
Fresh raspberries or strawberries, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add flour, cornstarch and salt; stir until smooth. Stir in milk.
Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 1/3 cup batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Keep in a warm oven, covered with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioner's' sugar until smooth. Place about 2 tablespoons in the center of each blintz; overlap sides and ends on top of filling. Place folded side down. Serve with pureed berries; garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.

CAUTION: Recipe needs to be re-written correctly. Ingredients for batter are listed under FILLING and the filling ingredients are together with topping. Otherwise delicious.

Made 1/2 of the recipe, using 4 eggs. Tasty and very filling.
