Remember to beat well after every egg to incorporate the mix well. Now, combine the flour and the baking soda by passing them through a sieve, then pour it into the earlier mixture and cream. Shape them into three rolls of 10-inches each. Wrap them in separate plastic wraps and refrigerate them for four hours or until the dough formed is firm.
