סֹלֶת בַּשֶּׁמֶן תֵּעָשֶׂה — מְלַמֵּד שֶׁטְּעוּנָה מַתַּן שֶׁמֶן בִּכְלִי.

English: “Fine flour in oil shall it be made” — this teaches that it requires placement of oil in the vessel [before the flour].

On the daf / in context: Baraisa on oil application: for marcheshes (and most menachos) oil goes into the vessel first; oven-baked types are the exception (smeared after, not mixed in the vessel).

Type of Learning

Custom (procedural detail from “te’aseh”).

What Is Learned

For a marcheshes mincha, oil is put in the pan before the flour; the mixture is made in the vessel.
