Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 4 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 pint sour cream
• 1 (1 pound) loaf white bread

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a cookie sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Trim crusts from bread and roll the slices flat.

Step 3

In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon to make a mixture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, mix softened cream cheese, milk and vanilla until smooth. Spread this mixture onto each slice of flattened bread. Roll each bread slice up. Dip bread/cream cheese rolls in melted butter, roll the blintzes immediately in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cut rolls into 1 inch pieces. Arrange the blintzes on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
