"blintz" の定義と意味

What is "blintz"?

A blintz is a thin, crepe-like pancake that is typically filled with a sweet or savory filling and then folded into a square or rectangular shape. The pancake is made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sometimes sugar, and is cooked on a griddle until it is lightly browned on both sides. The filling can vary widely and may include cheese, such as cottage cheese or ricotta, fruit, such as apple or blueberry, or savory ingredients, such as ground meat or vegetables. Once the filling is added, the blintz is folded into a square or rectangular shape and either baked or fried until the filling is heated through. Blintzes are a traditional dish in Jewish cuisine and are often served for breakfast or brunch. They can be served plain or topped with sour cream, fruit compote, or syrup.
