plástra

Plástra is a term that can refer to several things, often related to a covering or coating. In a culinary context, plástra can denote a sweet pastry, particularly in Greek cuisine. These pastries are typically made with dough that is fried or baked and then coated in syrup, often flavored with honey or lemon. They can include ingredients like nuts or spices.

Beyond food, the term plástra might also be used more generally to describe a plaster or a similar material applied as a coating. This could be in the context of building or construction, where plaster is used to create a smooth surface on walls and ceilings. In a more figurative sense, "plástra" could also imply a superficial covering or a facade, something intended to conceal or improve the appearance of something else. The specific meaning is usually determined by the context in which the word is used.
