– put the remaining sugar into a food processor together with the eggs and whisk for at least 10 minutes (eggs should at least triple their volume and make a a stiff cream);
– pour the egg’s cream onto the bowl with flour mix, and fold gently with a circular movement from the bottom to the top of the bowl;
