Add flour, sugar, eggs and vanillin. Whisk everything together to allow the sugar to dissolve. And then put the workpiece on the stove and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. The temperature should be average. After boiling, lower the temperature to a minimum and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

How to bake cakes in a pan
Break a chicken egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork. Add condensed milk to it and stir. After that, put the baking soda, after extinguishing it with vinegar. If you have baking powder, mix it with sifted flour. Put flour in a bowl with condensed milk and egg in parts, mix well first with a spoon, and then put the dough on the table and stir in the flour with your hands. The end result should be a soft and elastic dough.
Now take a frying pan and heat it up. Divide the dough into several pieces and form into flat round cakes. Pierce each cake with a fork in several places and start baking. Fry them on both sides. Put the finished cakes on a dish, smearing each of them with custard. Use a knife to give them a perfectly round shape, trimming away any irregularities from the edges. When all the cakes are overcooked and oiled, cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream. Garnish with chopped walnuts in a blender, mixed with scrap crumbs, or chopped cookies if desired.
When the cake is completely assembled, put it in the refrigerator and let it sit for 1-2 hours to soak properly. After that, it can be cut into portions and served. Such a quick and delicious dessert will surely come in handy during a family tea party. And also he will be able to come to the rescue if unexpected guests come spontaneously to you.
