About Blintz

A blintz is a thin, crepe-like pancake of Eastern European origin, commonly associated with Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. It is typically made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt, cooked into a delicate wrapper. Blintzes are often filled with sweetened cheese, fruit preserves, or savory fillings like mushrooms or potatoes, then folded, pan-fried, or baked until golden. While they are beloved for their versatility and comforting flavors, their nutritional profile depends on preparation. The thin pancake is relatively low in calories, but rich fillings and frying can add saturated fats and sugars. Opting for non-fat or low-fat dairy, fresh fruits, or baking instead of frying can make them a lighter, more nutrient-conscious option. High in protein and a good source of carbs, blintzes can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.
