  Now add all your Flour at once and quickly stir off the heat. Keep stirring about 1-2 min. A ball will form and now set the pot aside for a min or two to cool OFF THE HEAT. While warm but not hot add the whipped eggs and stir. I use a mixer on med for a minute or two till its uniform and lumps are gone. Mixture will look real soft and blended.
