It's a nice non-meat meal to make once in a while, one that my husband is very fond of. It just takes a few minutes to prepare, then it can be set aside, covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator and when the final step is to be taken, brought out and the previously-filled blinis quickly browned in a frying pan, and served.

They can be served up with a garnish of sour cream, or applesauce. Or, as in this instance, with nothing at all to diminish the already-complete flavour of the cheese blintzes.

For just two people, a half-cup of flour is more than enough. A bit of salt, two eggs, a half-cup of milk and that's all it takes. A quick cooking of the pancakes themselves, flipping them on to a dry tea towel, once done, and then they can be filled.

I decided this time, instead of the conventional cottage-cheese filling, to try Silani's new ricotta cheese. Adding honey and cinnamon, then filling the blinis with the resulting mixture. The end result was a lighter filling and a wonderfully good tasting finished product.

Prefaced by a fresh garden salad, and concluding with a dessert of fresh mandarins; a perfect, light dinner.
