Shh, quiet.
Now listen closely.
Do you hear that?
What you hear is the sound of thousands of blintz-angels, bursting through Heaven’s gates singing holy moly, holy moly, holy moly.
Or at least that’s what it sounds like. I’m not really sure. I don’t speak Blintzese. But holy cow, these are good. And if I weren’t susceptible to cankles or busting buttons, I’d make them every.single.day of my bowl-of-oatmeal-for-breakfast life.
