Masneetza
Saturday July 4, 2009
My friend, Patty, is probably the only person who knows this cheese strudel by the name, "Masneetza". Handed down through the family, she swears her sister makes it the best. It must be real strudel dough and it must be dry curd cottage cheese to make it properly. Yeah, Patty, for this great party idea!

I think you mean manitsa or manitza, similar to banitsa or banitza? Usually of Bulgarian origin?
I can’t tell you. Patty’s family has been in the US for a few generations and names become garbled. She pronounces it Masneetza and says its German-Austrian. We’ll just call it European, shall we?
