2.Place the flour, 3 eggs and a pinch of salt in the mixing bowl of a food processor and mix until they just come together to form a ball.
3.Remove from the bowl and work with your hands for 1 minuets to make a smooth elastic dough. Wrap in clingfilm and leave in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4.Roll out the pastry onto a floured surface, turning a quarter turn regularly to ensure you make a rectangular around 2 inch thick.

6.Spoon the mixture down one side of the pastry, then roll up to make a cylinder shape.
