About 30 minutes before serving, in a small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat cottage cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract till smooth.

2/3 cup boiling water
1 pound sweet cherries, pitted

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder


Mix together milk, butter and eggs. Add flour and baking powder.

Grease the griddle or frying pan because these will stick easily. Fry thin pancakes using 1/2 cup of the blintz mixture for each , over medium heat.

Beat mixture before each blintz and grease griddle each time.
