Crêpes: Put all 9 ingredients into blender. Process until smooth. Add more orange juice, if necessary, to make thin batter. Chill for 1 hour. Heat small greased non-stick frying pan on medium until hot. Add about 2 tbsp. (30 mL) batter, quickly tilting pan to coat bottom. Cook for 30 seconds until edges start to brown and top loses its shine. Remove to waxed paper to cool. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 20 crêpes.

Cottage Cheese Filling: Mash cottage cheese and egg yolk together until large curds are broken up.

Add next 5 ingredients. Mix well. Makes 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) filling. Spoon 1 1/2 tbsp. (25 mL) down center on unbrowned side of each crêpe. Fold 2 sides towards center, not overlapping. Roll from front to back to enclose filling. Arrange blintzes in single layer, seam side down, in greased shallow 9 x 13 inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.

Drizzle with margarine. Cover. Bake in 400°F (205°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes until hot. Makes 20 blintzes.
