Nalistniki s varen'em

[Sasha Senderovich]

Dear Robert,
I am afraid that the best English translation for "nalistniki" is not
English at all - "nalistniki" are pretty much "blintzes" (the latter being a
Yiddish word that has entered English to such an extent that it's not being
underlined as incorrect as I type it here). These come with different kinds
of fillings.

Here are sample recipes, with pictures:
