Biscuits Week (S01E02)

Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins welcome the eight enthusiastic home bakers who have advanced from the first round to Scone Palace near Perth, where they will tackle biscuits and delightful teatime treats. The esteemed judges, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, will evaluate their creations. Over the course of two days, the bakers face three progressively challenging tasks: crafting their signature biscuits, conquering the infamous scone, and assembling an impressive tower of petit fours, featuring meringues, choux pastry, and macaroons. As the competition heats up, Mel and Sue explore the history behind Britain's beloved digestive biscuit, delve into the Scottish roots of shortbread, and uncover why Sir Ranulph Fiennes has the priciest biscuit in the world. Who among the bakers will impress the judges with their creativity and expertise, and which two will be eliminated from the competition?
