Recipe: Mushroom Blintz with Mushroom Sauce

Hi Roger,

This is not a meat filling but it looks interesting.

Chana Shimoni's Mushroom Blintzes

Blintz Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cup water
3 eggs
pinch of salt

Combine ingredients until the mixture is smooth. I generally add more water so it is less thick. If you let it sit for a few minutes, it is easier to stir so there are no more flour lumps.

Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan. Pour a thin layer of the flour mixture into the frying pan. Careful not make the crepe too thick. It takes practice to get it just right. But the my kids love to eat my mistakes with some jelly inside .

When the blintz starts to leave the sides of the pan, then I flip it or turn it carefully. Fry on the second side for just a few seconds.

Once all the crepes are cool, put a tablespoon of mushroom filling and wrap up into a blintz by turning in two sides and rolling up the rest.

Serve warm, either with or without mushroom sauce
