• "These are the best blintzes I've ever had! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect."

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be careful not to overcook the crepes, or they will become dry and brittle.

• Let the crepes rest for a few minutes before filling them to prevent them from tearing.
• Serve the blintzes warm for the best flavor.
