I always tought and flew 3 times drift outbound (2 times on a procedure/base turn).
It works well and seems to be what the examiners want to see on a test.

Adjusting bank angles slightly whilst turning inbound if you see an undershoot of the axis is Ok, but never exceed rate one.

Its interesting whatching FMS holds, they fly a perfect racetrack pattern and adjust bank angle to correct. With strong X winds blowing you into the inbound axis they always overshoot !

Good luck
