Cebularz is one of the most popular dishes in Lublin cuisine. The recipe for the pancake was passed down the generations, with written records since the nineteenth-century. The first to bake the pancake were Jews, selling their produce in Lublin Old Town. Before World War II they were already widely popular in Lublin Voivodeship.[2]
In 2007, cebularz was registered on the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's[3] List of Traditional Products.[4] In August 2014, cebularz pancakes have been placed on the European Union's Geographical Indications and Traditional Specialities list.[5]
