After that, the mixer is laid aside, instead of it a wide spatula or spoon is taken. Add the remaining sugar and mix the mass gently from top to bottom. The baking tray for meringue is covered with parchment paper. Beze can simply be put out with a spoon or be dropped from a confectionery bag. In the latter case, they will be more accurate and beautiful.
