Yiddish Food

I am so excited to try this recipe! It is in the oven as we speak and I can't wait to try it. In honor of Hanukkah, I had to try this traditional Jewish dish. I hear this is something that is served for Hanukkah and since I love trying new things, I thought I would give this a go.

Cheese Blintz Casserole

1.) Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 Pyrex.

2.) Mix the filling in 1 bowl: cream the cream cheese & cottage cheese. Add 2 eggs, 1 cup of the sugar, salt, and lemon juice.

3.) In ANOTHER bowl, mix the batter: butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, 2 eggs, flour, baking powder, milk, & vanilla.
