Blintzes Suzette - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crepes
    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 cup flour
    1/4 cup lukewarm water
    2 large eggs
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
    1 pinch salt
    Suzette sauce
    4 tablespoons butter
    1/2 cup fresh orange juice
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon fres lemon juice
    1 tablespoon grated orange zest (optional)
    Blintz-y filling
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup milk yogurt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    1 pinch of grated lemon zest
Preparation
    Combine the crepe ingredients in a blender or food process and process until well blended. Let rest 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.(This allows the glutens to relax, for tender crepes.).
    Combine the suzette ingredients in a small skillet and set over low heat to simmer for several minutes until thickened. (It's a fairly thin sauce even when thickened.)
    Combine the blintz-y filling ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
    Heat a crepe pan over medium heat. Melt a little butter in it and pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter. Quickly tilt the pan so batter covers the bottom. Cook until the top is set and underside is golden. Turn and cook for a few seconds until brown. Remove to a piece of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining batter, separating crepes with waxed paper.
    Roll about 2 tablespoons of the sweet filling in the crepes and top with Suzette sauce.
    You'll have a couple of leftover crepes -- freeze them for up to a month.
