One of the easiest pies to prepare is considered mannik. The fact is that this pie is considered a traditional dish of the Slavic peoples. For the first time about mannika began to write in chronicles and other books in the XII century. However, there is an assumption that the mannikin appeared earlier, in the X century.
Perhaps, the mannikin was borrowed from the inhabitants of the East. There, instead of mannika, they prepare a cake similar in ingredients.
