blanket forts and blintzes

Today, I made my grandmother's famous blintzes.
They are seriously the most delicious thing on the planet.
A tradition in my family : )

CHEESE BLINTZES
Batter: 
2 eggs
1 cup milk 
3/4 cup sifted flour

Beat eggs well.  Add flour all at once.  Add milk gradually and beat to a smooth batter.  This will make a very thin batter.

Cheese Filling: 
1 lb cottage cheese
2 tsp sugar
1 egg yolk
8 oz package creamcheese

Melt butter in a skillet.  Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter, swirling around to make a circle. 

Fry until lightly brown on bottom and turn out on waxed or parchment paper, browned side up.  Fill pancakes with a table spoon of cheese filling and fold over from both sides and then into an envelope shape. 
   
Just before serving, fry in a little butter in a hot skillet until a golden brown color on both sides. 

Serve hot with cinnamon and sugar, powdered sugar, jam, whipped cream, fresh fruit, etc. 
My favorite growing up was powdered sugar and strawberries : )

You can also freeze the blintzes before serving them and eat them later!
They kind of take a while to make, so I prefer making them the night before then just frying them the next day.

Also, Kelly and I made a blanket fort clubhouse. 

No boys allowed. 

You even have to know the password to come in!

Pictures to come : )
