Making pancake Napoleon cake

5. Place the frying pan on the stove, heat it and grease it with a thin layer of oil. This is done only once so that the first pancake does not come out lumpy. After the ladle, pour a portion of the dough into the pan, twist it so that the dough spreads over the entire bottom, and fry the pancake for about 3-5 minutes in medium heat.
