Ingredients

For the batter:

1 1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 stick unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

For the filling:

3 cups ricotta cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

For the blueberry sauce:

3/4 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups blueberries fresh
1 teaspoon lemon zest grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F and butter a 9 x 13 pan.
Place all of the batter ingredients in a food processor and mix until smooth. Pour half the batter (about 1 3/4 cups) into the buttered pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Check that it does not turn too dark, as you want the texture to remain soft like that of a crepe.
For the filling, add the cheeses, eggs and sugar in the food processor and mix until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and process until just mixed.
Pour the filling mixture onto the baked batter, spread evenly, and top with the remaining batter. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is a light golden color. Do not over bake to achieve the appropriate texture. Remove from the oven and allow to set for 10-15 minutes.
To make the blueberry sauce, mix the orange juice, sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Allow to boil and thicken, stirring every so often. When the mixture has thickened, add the blueberries and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Some blueberries will burst but you still want some to remain whole. Add the lemon juice and zest, and allow to cool.

Notes

Baked Blintzes are a traditional Polish dessert. They are made from a cornstarch batter, and are typically served at a brunch. The batter may be watery when it's fresh, so you'll need to allow them to cool before slicing them into squares. Afterwards, they'll be set up and easier to cut into neat squares. During the summer, you can serve them with berries or blueberry jam.
