Snack Cake for Men
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. For the snack cake, you will need chicken fillet; it is the most tender part of the chicken and cooks quickly. The cake layers turn out light and airy. You can experiment with fillings; today I suggest pickled cucumbers, processed cheese, garlic, and herbs. Among the herbs, I recommend dill, young garlic, and parsley. You can use cilantro if you like, and green onion. Check out the recipe, try the little cake, and share your comments. Serve with herbs and sauce.

Step 6
Heat the skillet and coat it well with vegetable oil (I do this with a silicone brush). Spoon in 5 tbsp of batter and spread it with the back of a spoon. My skillet is 18 cm across the bottom. With this approach you get 7 thick pancakes. Don't make them thin—it will be hard to fry them.
