   Beat everything with a mixer until smooth. You should get a lush mass. Beating eggs for a very long time is not worth it. If the eggs are re-beaten, then the biscuit will not rise. The mass should lighten, but retain a yellowish tint. A completely white mass is a sign of over-beaten eggs, from which all the air has gone. In this case, the biscuit will not rise and will not be lush even with baking powder. With proper whipping, the mass will increase by 3 times, a lot of bubbles will appear on the surface.
