For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the crepe batter. If you don't have vanilla yogurt, plain yogurt works perfectly well. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract. Be sure to let the crepe batter rest for at least an hour. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes. Serve the blintzes with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of orange marmalade.
