This recipe for Keto cream cheese blintzes is adapted from a basic cream cheese pancake recipe. The ratios are adjusted slightly and there is no flour or baking powder. I”ve seen the recipe floating around forever and the first time I made it I thought, this pancake is too flat to be a pancake. This is a Keto crepe! They are very delicate and can be hard to flip. I’ll give you my tips ahead.
I like to mix this batter in my blender. It’s quick and easy and my blender has a spout that’s perfect for pouring the batter right into my pan. Add all ingredients into your blender and mix well. I start low and increase the speed until my mixture is smooth and there aren’t any cream cheese chunks floating around. Heat a non-stick pan to medium/ medium-low. Butter your pan, I simply run the edge of a stick of butter over the surface, and pour enough batter in to coat the bottom thinly. I have an amazing nonstick pan that literally nothing will stick to, but the issue that a lot of people run into is how delicate these pancakes are making them difficult to flip without ripping. When the bottom is set I run a thin spatula under the edges to make sure the crepe is cooked and is moving freely in the pan. Now, grab a second heat proof spatula. This is my method and it takes two hands. I slide one spatula under the crepe and lift slightly and then slide the second spatula underneath. If I can get the second spatula under the crepe farther than the first one I will lift slightly and move the first spatula further under the crepe. When I have both spatulas under the crepe I lift both spatulas at the same time and flip. I know this sounds daunting and like a lot of work, but when you figure out how to flip them without breaking them you will be rewarded greatly! Once the crepes are done, remove them from your pan using the same method and stack them on a plate. Once they are cooled they will sturdier and easier to work with. Because they have no flour in them, they don’t have the same scaffold as a traditional crepe. They will always be more delicate and more prone to tearing than a traditional flour based crepe but definitely easier to handle once cooled.
