'sweetbread?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'get skillet and fold almost all' is the wordplay.
'get skillet' becomes 'pan' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fold' becomes 'crease' (creasing is a kind of folding).
'almost all' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'crease' with its final letter taken away is 'creas'.
'pan'+'creas'='PANCREAS'

'of this in while making a kind of' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pancreas that I've seen before include "organ" , "Part of body" , "insulin producer" , "Gland aiding digestion" , "Gland near stomach discharging insulin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
