   batter into bowl; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
   
   Heat 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; grease lightly.
   For each crepe, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into hot skillet.  Immediately
   tilt pan to coat bottom evenly with thin layer of batter.  Cook 45
   seconds, or until top looks dry.  Turn crepe; continue cooking about 20
   seconds longer.
   
   Stack cooked crepes between sheest of waxed paper.  (Crepes may be wrapped
   securely and frozen up to 3 months.  Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.)
   
   Preheat oven to 400 F.  Lighty spray 13- by 9-inch baking dish with
   cooking spray or grease lightly.
   
   Prepare filling.  In medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese,
   sour cream, wheat germ, sugar and vanilla; mix well.  Spoon about 2
   tablespoons filling onto center of each crepe.  Fold two sides of crepe
   over filling; fold up ends to form rectangle.
   
   Plae blintzes in prepared baking dish; brush lighty with melted margarine.
   Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.  To serve, top each blintz
   with fresh berries and additional sour cream; sprinkle with wheat germ.
   
   NOTE: Blintzes may be covered tightly and refrigerated several hours or
   overnight until ready to bake.  Uncover; proceed as recipe directs.
