3. Remove from heat when lukewarm and beat on high speed until mixture has tripled in volume (about 5 to 8 minutes).
4. Add the flour that we previously sifted like rain. Incorporate slowly with a scraping shovel in sweeping motions.
5. Add the milk, oil and vanilla with rolling movements so that the air does not escape from the mixture.
