This is in the Weight Watcher's Favorite Homestyle Recipe book. I've never
tried it, but the prologue to this recipe says that the person who
submitted it was craving the blintzes of her youth and developed this
recipe to replicate the taste while following the weight watchers eating
plan.

1. Preheat oven to 300. Spray 13 by 9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking
spray. Set aside.

2. To prepare batter, in large bowl using electric mixer on medium, mix
flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, salt, eggs, margarine and milk
until just blended. (Do not overmix).

3. To prepare filling, in separate large bowl using electric mixer on low
speed, mix remaining ingredients until blended.

4. Pour half the batter into prepared pan. Gently pour filling on top,
being careful not to mix layers. Pour remaining batter over cheese mixture.
Bake until golden brown and set, 1 One half hours. Let stand 10 minutes before
cutting, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (can be served
chilled or at room temperature).
