To prepare the honey cake "Medovik", first make the cream, it needs to be prepared in advance. Place the milk on the stove. Then mix the butter (it should be soft) and sugar.

In a separate bowl, mix the starch, flour, and sugar. When the milk boils, gradually add the dry ingredients, mix and let it cool. Stir the mixture periodically while cooling.

Remove from heat and quickly add the flour. Knead a thick and elastic dough.

Bake the layers. Divide the dough into approximately 8-9 small balls. Roll out the layers thinly (about 2 mm) and place them in a form. Dust the pan with flour each time.
