Remove the bowl from the pan and, using an electric mixer, beat for 5 minutes on high speed, then reduce the speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. By this stage the mixture should have tripled in volume, and when the beaters are lifted from the bowl they should form a slowly dissolving ribbon.

Sift in the flour and gently fold together, making sure all the flour is combined, but trying to keep as much volume as possible. Take a large spoonful of the batter and add it to the melted butter, then mix together (this will lighten the butter and help to incorporate it into the batter). Gently fold this into the batter.
