Products such as pancakes, obtained by baking or heating a paste spread tly in a given configuration are made on a machine comprising a smooth and continuous baking surface, which can be flat or evolute, actuated in relative movement with respect to a spreader constituted by a cylinder with a smooth surface dipping into a paste tank at a substantially constant level and arranged to transport and to transfer the paste onto the baking surface at the level of two close generators situated respectively on the baking surface and on the spreader and called transfer generators. A so-called "obturator" is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the generator of the spreader situated at the level of the surface of the paste on the emergence side, and called extraction generator, eliminates the contact necessary for the drawing of the paste by the spreader at certain points of the generator. The obturator is arranged so that for each of its relative positions, these points vary along the extraction generator and it is driven in continuous or to and fro movement.
