BAKED BLINTZES WITH FRESH BLUEBERRY SAUCE
This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe which sounds wonderful because you bake the blintzes in a large casserole and then cut into squares vs. having to make individual pancakes. They are topped with a wonderful fresh blueberry topping. Would be wonderful for a brunch!!!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 inch cake pan or baking dish.
- For the batter: place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and blend until smooth. Pour half of the batter (about 1 3/4 cups) into the prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes, until set.
- Meanwhile, for the filling, whisk together the ricotta, mascarpone, eggs, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spread the cheese filling over the baked pancake. Carefully spoon the remaining pancake batter to cover the cheese (use a measuring cup and pour batter into a spoon over the dish -- this will prevent the pancake batter from mixing in with the filling). Return the dish to the oven and continue baking 35-40 minutes, until the top is liqhtly golden and the filling is almost set. Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10-15 minutes. Cut the blintzes in squares and serve warm with the fresh blueberry sauce.
- Blueberry Sauce: Combine the orange juice, sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When the mixture is translucent and thickened, stir in the blueberries and simmer for 4-5 minutes, just until a few berries have burst but most are still whole. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice and cool. Makes 2 cups.
BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BLUEBERRY SAUCE
This sauce was created by Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa to those who don't know) to go with her Recipe #205777 that I posted here. No butter in this cake, but still moist and delicious! The blueberry sauce is pretty darn good, too.

Steps:
- For the Blueberry sauce: Combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until translucent and thickened. Stir in the blueberries and simmer 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the zest and lemon juice and cool. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. For the pancake batter: Place all the ingredients of the batter in the bowl of a food processor with a steel blade or blender (or a whisk, ) and blend until smooth. Pour half the batter into the dish and bake 10 minutes, or until set. For the filling: Whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread over the baked layer Next, carefully spoon the remaining pancake batter over the cheese layer. Return to the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is light golden and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with blueberry sauce. NOTE: This makes a lot! You can cut this recipe in half. The night before, I made the pancake batter, but waited to add the baking powder right before making this. I also made the filling and the blueberry sauce the night before. This assembled beautifully, and baked perfectly. Warm the blueberry sauce, but don't boil it.
