Fold sifted flour and vanilla sugar into the egg mixture again making sure that you keep as much air in the mixture as possible as this will be the replacement for your your rising agent. Divide the mixture between the three 20cm circles ensuring that the mixture covers the entire circle. Bake in the oven for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
