Placinta
Placinta is one of the most versatile and beloved pastries in Romanian cuisine, a thin, hand-stretched dough wrapped around sweet or savory fillings. The cheese version, placinta cu branza, features a tangy mixture of fresh cheese and dill encased in paper-thin layers of dough that crisp up beautifully when pan-fried in butter. Whether filled with cheese, apples, pumpkin, or cabbage, placinta is comfort food that transcends seasons.
