BLINTZES

Steps:

• With a whisk, beat eggs and milk together and add the salt. Gradually, a tablespoonful at a time, whisk in flour and beat until smooth. Heat a 6inch skillet and butter it lightly. Pour in enough batter to make a thin pancake. (If batter is too thick, add water to thin) Pour out excess back into the batter and don't worry if a "tab" forms on the side of the pan.
• Cook the blintz on one side only until the top blisters and it looks dry around the edges. Turn the blintz upside down onto a clean towel. Rebutter the skillet if need be, every 2 or 3 blintzes, and proceed until all the batter has been used up.
• Make assorted fillings, roll up and fry, or bake or freeze for another day.

RASPBERRY-PLUM CRUMB TART

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. In a food processor, pulse nuts until ground medium fine, about 30 pulses.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, mix ground nuts, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt just until combined. Add butter, and mix on low speed just until combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Press 3 cups of crumb mixture into bottom of pan and about 1 1/2 inches up sides to form crust. Reserve remaining crumb mixture. Bake crust until set, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the filling: Slice plums in half, and remove pits. Slice into eighths. Scatter raspberries and sliced plums onto cooled crust.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. Whisk in whole egg, egg yolk, cream, milk, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, if desired. Pour custard over fruit; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake tart until custard has set and is slightly golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let tart cool at least 25 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
