Make Leaves:
Heat small frying pan, grease lightly with butter, and put in a tbsp. of batter. Swirl the pan to coat evenly, and cook until just set and bottom is slightly tan. Turn out onto a paper towel. Repeat until all batter is used.
Make Filling and Assembly:
Put a generous spoonful of the filling on the edge nearest you, roll once, fold in both sides, and continue rolling until all is rolled. Place on a buttered platter until all are rolled. (Note: some cooks fold the dough around the filling as you fold an envelope. This gives you a flatter blintz.
At this stage, you can freeze the blintzes, or proceed to fry them to serve. You can bake them in the oven, which gives a lovely crust. (350°F in a well-buttered pan) or fry them in butter.
Serve with sour cream, berries, jam, or preserves.

This recipe is from "Treasure for My Daughter," a cookbook produced by Montreal Hadassah in 1950, and updated many times. For a while in the 90s it was out of print, but public clamor brought it back. I have been using this recipe since I was married in 1951.
