Perfect Blintz Batter

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup water, room temperature
• 1/4 cup half-and-half cream or full-fat milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar (no more that 2 teaspoons or the blintz will darken too much in the skillet)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (no subs)

Directions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl lightly beat eggs, then whisk in water, milk, salt, 2 teaspoons sugar and vanilla (if using) until well blended.

2. 2

   Sift the flour and baking powder, then stir into the egg ingredients; whisk until thick (the batter should resemble thick unwhipped whipping cream).

3. 3

   Stir in melted butter.

4. 4

   Let the batter sit out at room temperature for 20 minutes or until it comes to room temperature and the bubbles settle.

5. 5

   Lightly butter a 8-inch skillet on medium heat.

6. 6

   Add in about 3-4 tablespoons batter and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet.

7. 7

   Cook until the bottom is set and light browned (these will cook very fast!).

8. 8

   Flip the blintz over and cook for about 30 seconds.

9. 9

   Repeat with remaining batter.
