Chremslach

Chremslach (Yiddish: כרעמזלעך, IPA: [ˈχrɛmzləχ]; singular chremsl or khremzl, Yiddish: כרעמזל, IPA: [ˈχrɛmzl̩]), is a Jewish food eaten on Passover.[1] Chremslach are small thick pancakes or fritters made of potato or matzah meal.[2][3][4] Chremslach can also be more dessert-like, including ingredients like dried fruit and nuts.[4]

Similar dishes, or even the same, have different names. Balkan Jews use the Ladino term bimuelos "fritters", cognate with Spanish buñuelos.[4]
