Special Precautions and Tips:

• To prevent the blintzes from sticking, make sure to grease the skillet well before cooking.
• If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk. If it seems too thin, add a little more flour.
• Don't overfill the blintzes with the cream cheese mixture, or they will be difficult to roll up.
• Serve the blintzes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, fruit, or whipped cream.
