Prepare crepes: In blender or food processor, combine all crepe
ingredients. Cover and blend about 1 minute, or until smooth. Pour
batter into bowl; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; grease lightly.
For each crepe, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into hot skillet. Immediately
tilt pan to coat bottom evenly with thin layer of batter. Cook 45
seconds, or until top looks dry. Turn crepe; continue cooking about 20
seconds longer.

securely and frozen up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.)
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lighty spray 13- by 9-inch baking dish with
cooking spray or grease lightly.
Prepare filling. In medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese,
sour cream, wheat germ, sugar and vanilla; mix well. Spoon about 2
tablespoons filling onto center of each crepe. Fold two sides of crepe
over filling; fold up ends to form rectangle.
Plae blintzes in prepared baking dish; brush lighty with melted margarine.

with fresh berries and additional sour cream; sprinkle with wheat germ.

overnight until ready to bake. Uncover; proceed as recipe directs.
