Make Leaves: Heat a 6 inch to 7 inch skillet, greased lightly, over moderately high heat. Pour in sufficient batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan, quickly rotate the pan to distribute batter evenly. Pour excess batter back into bowl. Cook until the batter sets and the edge of the pancake starts to leave the sides of the pan. Turn out onto a clean cloth and repeat until all batter is used, greasing pan when needed. Regulate the heat and frying time so that each pancake will cook to a uniform pale gold color.
Fill the leaves: Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of the cooked side of the pancake and fold over to make a square pocket or place filling at one end of the Blintz leaf and roll up encasing the filling. Fry the Blintzes on all sides until golden. Serve with sour cream and/or fruit sauces.
