Chef tips
For thin, uniform blintzes, let the batter rest in the fridge for 20 minutes before frying. This relaxes the gluten, so they won't tear when you flip them in the pan. Try filling your nalisniki with sweet farmer's cheese, vanilla, and raisins for a classic treat, or savory mushrooms and onions for a kid-friendly main course they'll love to help roll up.
