Although I consider making blintzes my birthright, I had never actually made-or even eaten!-a blintz until I worked on this book. Blintzes, for the uninitiated, are a Jewish dessert made of an eggy crepe-like pancake that’s filled with a sweetened mixture of cream cheese and farmer cheese and pan-fried until the pancake is golden brown. My mom used to help her mother, my Nanny, make blintzes when she was a child. Nanny would stand at the stove manning two skillets, cooking the pancakes two
at a time. She’d bang them out onto the counter, which was lined with brown paper bags, fill and fold them up, and then pack the blintzes into a shoebox lined with wax paper and freeze them.
Ingredients:
LEMONY APRICOT COMPOTE
8 ounces (227g) dried apricots, coarsely chopped (about 1 3⁄4 cups)
2 tablespoons honey Pinch of kosher salt
1 medium lemon
PANCAKE BATTER
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (5.4 oz / 152g)
4 large eggs (7 oz / 200g), at room temperature
1 cup whole milk (8.5 oz / 240g), at room temperature
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (2.5 oz / 71g), melted and cooled
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1⁄2 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
FILLING AND ASSEMBLY
16 ounces (454g) farmer cheese, chilled
8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces, chilled
1 large egg (1.8 oz / 50g)
3 tablespoons sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 oz / 85g), melted and cooled
Honey, for serving

I've been working on recreating the chocolate cake I had when I was 16 and visiting family in Lincoln, NB. They took me to a place called the Garden Cafe. I'm 99% there so fingers crossed that today's version is the winner.

I must say that I really deeply appreciate how well you’ve represented Jewish food culture in your videos and both books. Seeing correct applications of pareve recipes and fancier versions of holiday classics is so special to me! I’m sure your Nanny is schepping nachas. (And thank you editors for throwing the actual yiddish up there, too!)

For (dietary / allergy) reasons I cannot eat the majority of what you make - however I want to say that I enjoy your videos SO MUCH. They are so wonderfully calming, you're enjoyable to listen to, and it's just really nice after a stressful day. The food you makes looks amazing, I love how you take the time to explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, and why you chose the ingredients that you did. Thank you for sharing this with us.

@AlexandraAndStuff Год назад

Fun fact: in Polish cuisine we make a similar dish, but the filling can be more savory, like cabbage and mushrooms, meat and mushrooms, cheddar and veggies, etc. Also, we often roll it in the breading before frying, just for extra crunch.

Just listening to Claire passionately talk about food - is therapy.

@bouchraf.7291 Год назад

You are so right. I'm trying to recover from a deep depression/burnout, and yes, Claire's videos are really therapy for me. They made me get up and go back to the kitchen, after months without cooking nor baking. And as I can't eat all by myself, I share with my neighbour (he's the one you introduced me to Claire's recipes) or have a friend or two for tea, instead of just staying in bed alone all day. So thank you Claire (and my neighbour Yann)!!!

@deliabottoms285 Год назад

Claire, I had just finished eating breakfast when I watched this wonderful video on cheese blintzes, and you had me drooling! That is pure comfort food. I appreciate your stories about your grandma and how she recycled things. My mother was the exact same way and she was from the Depression era so I have a feeling that's the reason why they like to repurpose things. Thank you so much for your demo! It's something I'd really like to try especially because the filling has farmers cheese which will make it extra tasty! Happy cooking and happy baking!

@blendedchaitea645 Год назад

I haven't been able to eat blintzes since I became lactose intolerant about 10 years ago (2/3rds of Ashkenazim are lactose intolerant, the other third are lying to themselves. Why do we have a dairy festival? No clue). I have very fond memories of eating blintzes at the deli when I was a kid. This brought me back, thank you Claire 😸💕

@mycattypedthis2827 Год назад

Nice, in Ukrainian we have the exact same dish and it's called "nalisnyky" (when it's filled with cheese, "mlyntsi" when it's just a crepe without filling). Now I really want to try your version to see how similar or different they are

@wojciechostrowicz Год назад

I would also love to see her make syrnyky as it's the best thing in the universe ♥️

@danaorlukiewicz7196 Год назад

When we make nalysnyky at home they are savoury (non-sweet cheese filling with dill), I think I’m going to try out Claire’s blintz recipe for a sweet version. What is in your nalysnyky filling?

@mycattypedthis2827 Год назад

@@danaorlukiewicz7196 generally they're pretty similar to Claire's. It's cottage cheese with egg and sugar. Sometimes we make savoury version for breakfast, but it's not traditional because everything goes in them, deli meats, hard cheese, cucumbers and mushrooms, whatever's in the fridge that day 😅 it's more like a tortillas than classic nalisnyky

@agnieszkaczerwinska6640 Год назад

also in Poland - we add sour cream (not cream cheese) to achieve the right texture of the twarog cheese. Jam or fruit sauce optional

@yanafelani Год назад

that's because they are Ukrainian . Jews lived in Ukraine for a long time and have appropriated a lot of the Ukrainian food.

My takeaway from Claire’s videos - anything is breakfast 😂

@sarahmackenzie831 Год назад

On every visit, my granny and I used to make crepes at 5am when everyone else was sleeping, starting from when I was about 4 years old. We'd read the back of the TFAL pan and flip them with our fingers. The lessons there translated beautifully when trying to retrace my Jewish roots and connect to some of the Ashkenazi flavours I grew up loving and eating on my mom's side. Watching you make a recipe like this with so much affection makes me think of my granny, too, and leaves my heart so full. Thank you for sharing your family history and your intergenerational memories.

@veerani Год назад

ohhh i wonder if you could use paneer instead of the farmers cheese! Cottage cheese and paneer are technically the same but paneer has much more of the water drained out. It’s superrr common in a lot of south asian desserts

@MsShellectable Год назад

Love blintzes! Fun to make, learned something new about the uncooked side. Had a run in with the business end of a stick blender once. Very lucky that the feeling in my fingertip returned over time. These days stick blenders have a safety feature that prevents mauling.

@scpatl4now Год назад

I remember helping my mother make over 500 blintzes for a reception a friend of hers was having (1/2 cheese 1/2 meat...obviously not Kosher). First, if you are making a lot of these and you use a cast iron pan kudos to you for arm strength but my advice...use a NONSTICK crepe pan. Also, when she swirled the batter in the pan she always poured the extra back into the batter bowl once the pan was coated. Claire must have some strong arms to make that number of blintzes with cast iron.

@kayanncee8291 Год назад

Oh my god! Those look amazing! I was on the fence about making them but once I saw that delicious golden brown as the blintzes pan fried in the butter, I was sold!

I certainly remember my grandmother's blintzes. We would have them after Yom Kippur, for special occasions for brunch. Also, we would bring blintzes when making condolence calls. Question: It looked to me like you had Turkish apricots. Have you tried the California apricots that look darker and have a more tart flavor?

@esztercsaki1 Год назад

It's quite likely that your grandmother saved and reused things like Ziploc bags simply because she lived through the Great Depression, as well as WWII, when there were shortages of everything. People learned to be very frugal. Power to you for preserving her memory by reinventing an heirloom recipe.

@perisasnett6210 Год назад

To those consider substituting ricotta, beware! I did a direct sub with ricotta for the farmer's cheese, and the filling was way too runny. I thickened it with some cornstarch and flour until it at least made a ribbon, but still was nowhere near holding its shape. It worked okay filling the crepes and frying, and tasted great! But the texture was definitely too runny

@ellencoffey4431 Год назад

These look delicious. For my 2 cents, always use California apricots (Blenheim is the ideal variety, but any other California 'cots are still better than Turkish). They are more tart, chewier (if you don't make compote) and have *much* more flavor. They're harder to get, typically, but SO worth it. Try Trader Joe's if you're near one.

@cityofillustrations Год назад

@kat3325 Год назад

They are amazing with tvorog, it gives it more tangy flavour than cottage cheese. Dunno if farmers cheese has the same sour-ish flavour, if so, it the best 😋 they also work amazing with jams or Dulce de leche. Also with some sour cream on top, yum. You guys should try sirniki too, they are amazing, something in between pancakes and cheese cake, tangy and sweet.
