                        Batter:
   3      lg            Eggs
     1/4  c             Water
     1/4  c             Milk
     1/2  ts            Baking powder
     1/2  c             All-purpose flour
   1 1/2  ts            Sugar
   1      tb            Unsalted butter
                        Filling:
   1 1/2  c             Farmer cheese
   2      c             Cottage cheese
     1/4  c             Sugar
     1/2  ts            Cinnamon
   1      tb            All-purpose flour

Batter:

In a blender blend wrapper batter ingredients and let stand
30 minutes.

In an 8" skillet, preferably nonstick, melt half of the butter over
moderately high heat.

Pour in enough batter to just coat bottom of skillet, swirling and
cook, undisturbed, until top is set and nottom is golden (do not turn
wrapper over.) Transfer wrapper to paper towels in one layer, golden
side down. Make more wrappers with remaining butter and batter.

Filling:

In a food processor blend cheeses, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
If necessary, add flour to thicken filling.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment
paper.

Put 3 tb filling in center of each wrapper and fold opposite sides of
wrapper over filling until sides barely touch. Fold in ends to
completely enclose filling, forming packets, and arnage, seams sides
down, on baking sheet.

Make more blintzes with remaining filling and wrappers. Bake blintzes,
covered loosely with foil, until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.
