3. Mix the eggs, pour the required amount of milk there, and after that you need to take the flour and add a little bit there so that there are no lumps. Mix very gently. The mass will be thinner than the dough for pancakes, but not by much.

The fillings are divided into as many parts as the liver cakes you got.
9. The chicken liver cake is very easy to assemble. The first layer of the cake is laid out on a flat plate, smeared with garlic mayonnaise. After that, fried carrots with onions are laid out. Everything is covered with a second cake, smeared again, and so on.
