Directions
Burekas (Other Spelling Borekas), Traditional Jewish pastry filled with Cheese or anything else!, The borekasim turned out really, really good! I am not sure where you got the number 20 from, by following your directions, I made 8 borekasim They were great, the cheddar was a little different than cheese that is typically used in a borekas (I think), but I like that extra sharp flavor Delicious and pretty simple to make!, Traditional Jewish pastry filled with Cheese or anything else!
