Classic Blintz Wrappers
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 large egg
- Additional salt or sugar (optional)
- Non-stick vegetable spray
Instructions
- In a 3 quart work bowl (medium) blend egg and water together using a whisk or fork.
- Whisk in flour until smooth.
- Spray a large non-stick skillet with non-stick vegetable spray.
- Ladle batter onto the center of the skillet. Immediately spread the batter into a larger circle.
- When batter is nearly cooked through, use the large spatula to flip the wrap over to cook on the second side.
- Cook the wrap for another minute, then remove to a plate to cool.
- Stack blintz wraps between sheets of waxed paper.

How To Finish The Blintzes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute (for sealing blintzes)
- Your favorite Blintz filling
- Oil, butter, or non-stick vegetable spray for frying
Instructions
- Remove a pre-made blintz wrapper from the stack.
- Place approximately one tablespoon of filling around 1 ½ inches from the top of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling slightly over lapping.
- Brush a small amount of liquid egg over the bottom of the inside of the wrap.
- Fold the top of the wrap over the filling and roll, pressing lightly to seal at the end.
- Set aside on a plate. Finish remaining filling with the rest of the wrappers.
- In a large (preferably non-stick) skillet heat oil, butter, or non-stick vegetable spray until hot.
- Place blintzes in pan, seam side down and fry on medium-high heat until golden brown.
- Flip blintzes and repeat on second side.
- Remove from pan.
- For a lower fat blintz, bake in the oven at 350° F for 10-15 minutes until brown, but they are crispier (and yummier!) fried.

Grilled Hot Dog Blintzes (Filling)
Ingredients
- 8 blintz wrappers
- 8 hot dogs of your choice
- Barbecue sauce of your choice
- 2 tbsp. liquid egg (or 1 whole egg beaten well)
- Non-stick spray or oil for frying
Instructions
- Grill the hot dogs, brushing periodically with barbecue sauce.
- Set aside.
- Brush a small amount of barbecue sauce on the center of a blintz wrapper.
- Place a hot dog on the barbecue sauce.
- Brush the bottom of the blintz wrapper with liquid egg.
- Roll the blintz wrapper around the hot dog pressing to seal.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Spray the skillet with non-stick spray, or coat with oil.
- Fry Hot Dog Blintzes on all sides until golden brown.
- Serve with additional barbecue sauce.
Notes
Note
- Unless you make really large blintz wrappers, you will not be able to fold the sides of the wrapper around the hot dog. Instead, roll the blintz wrapper around the hot dog without folding in the sides, leaving the sides open. Don’t worry, they taste great anyway!!
